#1 - I hate when my rear 1/4s look like that! But it means I had some fun! ('04 GT Conv)

The smoke coming out around the taillights is great.


Nice shots

Thanks! Yeah, that rubber is a PITA to get off. Most of my friends now either pile up a bunch of wax there, or tape it off with body tape.

Thanks everyone. I have a couple more I'll post, nothing too outstanding though. The sun was pretty harsh.

But not an actual race event. If you really need them to see these, start a thread in "MS Talk" & put in a link to here.

No unfortunately I had a charity car show for the DAV that same day. I like the first shot, is that Happy's car from Fastlane?

In my opinion, if they had competition, it was a drag race. I think just because a promoter or organization rents the track for their event, it doesn't negate it being a drag race. In drag racing, a number of real competition events are track rentals. At our local track, the biggest motorcycle drag race in the region is a track rental, as are several import races and a Pontiac race. Same goes for some-heads up "street races." They aren't just out having fun; they are in serious competition with a real purse. I think the Top Fuel Pushrod Harley guys would be surprised to know they weren't at an actual race event.

Exactly.

I'm by no means trying to start anything, but the reason for not moving it to the forum it should be in is rediculous. And for the record, there were 2 actual races....with cash payouts at the private track rental.

Its not like someone is going to be die because a thread got moved.....
