There is nothing better than when you are traveling at 40mph and a ricegrinder pulls up next to you and you drop it to 2nd and start the race. What an adrenilene rush!

Harsh....

Autocross all the way. Road racing is a close runner up. The benefit of autocrossing is that it is cheaper and a lot easier on brakes and tires.

Don't forget pig racing!

Since my car is slow in straight lines....anything with turns. AutoX and Road Coarses for me lol.

TNTAutoSport · 09-02-2007, 04:08 PM

My personal opinion is this,

you can go fast in a straight line...but what happens when you have to turn?

Ive been roadracing3 times in my life, and it was by far the biggest thrill to me. I care about my car too much to go rallying, however If it wasnt my car, id probably like it that much more.

Road Racing is a pure skill, drafting, cornering, heel-toe..ing...braking...gas'ing...etc.

Drag Racing requires minor skill, but skill none the less...getting the RPM's perfect for your launch, and dont miss 3rd....

Autocrossing is exactly like road racing, but a bit more confusing. You see cones everywhere, but at times your unsure where to go. No other cars out there with you, courses are alot smaller, and alot slower, and some even have speed limits....a speed limit..in a race...wow!

Street Racing is fun yes....i did it for years when i was 18 to 20...now im 22, it doesnt appeal to me as much anymore. Cops crack down too hard on it.

However, I would say the funnest races are top speed races on open highways....not seeing whos fastest in a 1/4 mile...but whos faster top end.

You'll generaly get these type of races on your local freeway at 1-2am on a friday/saturday night.

for the guy who said drag racing is not racing.

Drag racing is the ultimate race, it's very hard to get rubber to hook up when your pushing 500 wheeled hp (oh wait I don't know if an SRT4 can make 500 wheeled HP) hundreds of parameters have to be perfect to get everything out of your car to run just a straight line. It's just you against another person top dog wins! When your spending thousands of dollars to get a couple tenths. When your running down a straight line with a stock car or very little mods it's like a drive in the park but when your running BIG horsepower then tell me drag racing is not racing!

Oh yee of little knowledge!

You think the Red Sled is running 9.6's @ 153 with only 300WHP?

And that is a full trim street car with a SUNROOF!

BTW I'm 400WHP and I'm not even trying.

I thought drag racing was easy too, then I tried it and well...I hate to admit it; it's harder than it looks!

But I am still a road racing junky!

P.j is a friend of mine and I don't know a whole lot about Imports or Sport compacts but I'm pretty sure there's not too many pushing over 500 HP to the WHEELS, I love all cars they're my passion I had to choose last year to get my supercharger or get my kid braces, the supercharger won! lol but she got her braces later
