When I was drag racing years ago, we would leave driving the cars we were going to race. Usually we would have at least an hour drive to the track. Then we would disconnect the exhaust from headers. Then we'd run the time trials, and hours later, the race. By the time I got home I would be ready to burst! I could have gone there, but I hate public toilets, so I suffered. Diapers at the race track....it wouldn't be cool if you were caught wearing.

Haha..you go DF... There was nothing like drag racing. You're sitting there staged and the lights come down the tree. On the last yellow I'd hit the accelerator. What a rush as you burn out, but controlling the burn so you build rpms but don't lose too much traction. All this while the engine roars out of the open headers!

Sadly we don't run open headers anymore... street nights require a full exhaust to pass tech. Same idea though... but many many more 4-cylinders than V8's runnin the track these days. I take the SS down to run the quarter at Rockingham a few times a year... and occasionally make a few weekend passes at the local 1/8th mile track. A lot safer than doing it on the streets.
