    I usually like to make it out 2 times a month and have yet to go this season because of previous plans and weather. I'm hoping to make it out this Friday night for Street Wars and improve on my 12.10 and crappy 1.83-1.84 60'. lol...Just curious how many hardcore drag-racers are floating around and how many don't make it out as often.

    The last time was the weekend of The Rumble in the Desert II, which was 15 months ago.

    About once a week while the weather is good. Looks like you'll hit the 11s before me as I changed to a taller drag tire and it slowed me down .10-.15 seconds.

    ^^^ We'll see. If I can learn to launch this thing with the new TCM, I just may. Last night though, on street tires and a lonely road....there is noooo way to stop this thing from spinning with all the torque managment removed. It surprised me actually.

    Zero...the one time I took my car to drag it, I got turned away because I wasn't wearing pants. :( I was told I'd need a helmet, so I had that, but no one mentioned anything about pants. (which kinda makes sense if you think about it, but it was a first time for me, so I didn't think about it.) Anyways, I decided it wasn't woth the 3 1/2 hour drive through bumber to bumber traffic to try again. Maybe one day I'll try again.

    I'd say twice a month on average.

    We have a monthly mopar challenge and then once for testing purposes :)

    After they opened the drag strip in Guam, I went every other weekend.

    Since I moved to San Diego in late 05, I haven't been to one...
