    well we sit up at 5,500 and the DA is around 7,500—7,800
    our track is uneven and unpreped
    at this altitude from sealevel we lose around 45-50hp
    it depends on the weather.

    and to me dragracing is about how much mods you have on your car.
    all the other types of racing is about driving.

    i have gone to some driving schools. most involve armored suburbans but a couple have involved high speed chasing around race tracks, so all the fundamentals are taught. i find myself a compotent driver around the twisties, but certainly not one of the best. i really love it though! i guess i dont have the balls to try and make sharp high speed turns in a car i spent 50k on plus mods.

    I hear ya!!!
    dirt is one of my favorite surfaces because of all the different surface and elevation changes
    it always keeps you guessing and aways has your full attention.

    once you go track you'll never go back!!!
    Lateral G's are a totally different fealing
    ive riden in some fast drag cars but
    it just doesnt compare to your car being push in corners

    on open track days there are a few Subies SUVs out there.

    yea RWD drifting is fun, something my car cant do, but i enjoy my rear end sliding out. its a blast.
