Default Re: Why race your supercar

Boy, JoeG, I can relate to that bank thing!

I think it should be required of EVERYONE even slightly interested in the older cars to attend the Pure Stock Drags in Michigan at least once. It sure opened my eyes! It's like a big car show (120+ cars) except it's at a drag strip and all the cars make passes! And if you think the cars their aren't show cars, you are SADLY mistaken. I've seen some of the best restorations I've ever seen in person at these events, and watched these same show winners drive from the pits to the burnout box and then make a pass. Yeah, not all of them set the world on fire, and for some that's not the goal. But I can guaran-darn-tee you that EVERYONE who has ever attended one has had a GREAT time and would consider it a do-again. Each year, the list of people who mark it on their calendar each year as a "must do" continues to grow. And, I'm proud to say I'm on that list!
