gg Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 i guess this wouldn't be the time to say that when i was 16 i worked at lebanon valley speedway at the drags.. worked in concessions in the pit. Drags were much more interesting then the regular races... Yes very interesting group of people who show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetfan13 Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 The Jet cars are unreal. fast & loud.. Used to go to Hollywood Speedway Park here in Fla and watch Big Daddy Don Garlits all the time.. problem with the drags now-a-days is the big money sponsors..the drags originated as a way for 2 machine heads to put their cars together and race them legally...but the little guy can't compete against big money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryno the Jet Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Being from Texas, of course i've been. In fact, my trailer would shake when jim bob and joe dan would drag pick-ups on the dirt road passed the crick near old man jone's place. Ah, them were the days. Back to the thread, Jon this is something that can not be described online. It is an event you must attend in person to appriciate. A lot of people do not realize all that goes on at these events. I'm not a fan, but I have been and had a great time when I was there. These machines are amazing, especially the top-fuel cars that shoot out flames from the exhaust. While I do agree it is a redneck sport, it is still amazing none the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gainzo Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I went up to Epping, NH years ago to see a street legal event. I must admit I enjoyed it. What a weird cross-mix of people. The car that ran the fastest was a suped-up Dodge Caravan. The thing was a missile going down the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gainzo Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I grew up on Sprint Cars when I was a kid. The sport was big in Australia in the early '80's. Nothing beat the dirt tracks and spills. Nowadays I hardly ever watch any kind of racing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
