Steve;

I agree with you on this one.... Just to add something from me that I have found.... When I first built my car, I would not pass up a chance to "stoplight to stoplight" race someone,then some friends talked me into going to a Ford Fun Weekend (drag racing at a NHRA sacntioned strip),I did pretty well for a first time drag racer,made the final four in a field of 60+ cars. After that I began going to the drag strip four or five times a year,now I find myself not even wanting to stoplight race anymore.... The more I go to a sacntioned track the less I want to street race.... Maybe this would work for others....

We used to have an auto cross club around here,but it kinda disbanded a few years ago,lack of places to hold events.... I wish like hell they would start up again cause I would love to try my hand at it.... Do not know if I could do any good,but it looks like a ton of fun and one day I'll find a group doing it and enter....

Just my thoughts.....

David
