I remember when... "Street car" races were started. There were all these rules about the cruise, the lights, the this and that. It was all cool until the racecars started adding lights and this and that to compete... I've got a couple videos from the "Worlds Fastest Streetcar" series. They are ALL racecars...Not one of them is a real "streetcar"... I always argued with people about my 71 Nova. Bigblock, Prostreet car, spooled rearend, 3800 stall converter...I drove it from Valparaiso, Ind to DuQuoin, Ill for the Street Machine Nationals one year, 370 miles each way. The cool thing was having people come up to me there mentioning that they saw me go by 150 miles back on the highway!!! THAT is a true streetcar (GOD, I wish I still had that one!!!)True streetcar races will almost always be infiltrated by true racecars with "options". I LOVE drag racing, but sometimes with all the rules, it turns into real "drag"...races, not much fun. I like the run whatcha brung and don't complain if you get beat. There will always be someone faster (unless you are Pat McCarthy...) :-)after looking at that Goat in his gallery, he may just have THE fastest car...I loved the idea behind "PINKS" when it first came out, but now, like everything, its getting old. You get guys sandbagging to get lengths...if they're cars are so BAD, why are they negotiating for a headstart??
Build it, race it and HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!
