When I was racing I had a great time.8 second cars that would pull the wheels and get out of shape if the track wasn't prepped.It was a lot of fun but one of my favorite times was getting in the tow car/truck and pulling the car home.After all the bouncing around it was great to get in a comfortable car and cruise home.AC was nice if it was hot but I really liked an open window with a cool breeze blowing through.
Maintaining a fast street car or 2 and keeping up with the race car was a long day.The race car would always take 4 to 6 hours of maintenance before a race, even if it wasn't broken.Back in the day our DD would be a full size car like a Cadillac or Lincoln.Big motor with lots of torque and drank gas as fast as the race car
It was also great in the winter.They were cheap to buy and towed well if you had the Stabilizer bars and trailer brakes.I'm an old man now and there is always something fast in the garage.The last car I had was a 442 with a crate 502 with NOS and it was a handfull on the street.Now I just have a 396 Chevelle.
My DD is a 2010 MKS Ecoboost twin turbo.Sure.It's an old mans car but nothing beats me off the light as it has AWD and it hooks on spit.I put a tune in it and it feels like a mid 12 car.It's a riot to drive and I love it.The biggest problem is letting the other guy know I'm up for a run anytime.lol.Don't get me wrong,I will only do a first and second and it must be a clear road.I have no interest in driving 120 within city limits.I take the Chevelle out if I'm in the mood but the Lincoln is far from boring.
The Pre Collision Warning System has saved me 3 times.The car is mint and only cost me $7500 US(10K Canadian).
