I have no problem with driving a high dollar, rare performance car, but drag racing it at the dragstrip is for the rich and famous. It's easy to say that anything can be fixed or repaired, but no insurance company is going to cover your car that gets damaged going down the strip.

So, tell me: what is the difference between doing a burnout or running it through the gears on the street, and doing the same on a drag strip? Dropping a valve, spinning a bearing, slinging a rod, etc., is the same on the street as it is on the strip...you break it, you buy it!

I'm also curious where everyone gets the idea that drag strips are so dangerous? I've raced on the street and strip since I was 16 (I'm 27 now) and I've YET to see an incident at the dragstrip...I wish I could say the same for the street!

At the Supercar Reunion, we worry 100 times more about the cruise than we do about the racing...
