Tales from the Strip

July 2nd, 2008 · No Comments

When’s the last time you took your car to the drag strip?  Are you driving a sporty car?  You need to get to the strip and test out your car. 

The drag strip is a great place to test your car and your driving abilities.  There are a lot of drag strips all over the country.  You can find 1/8th  mile and ¼ mile strips.  The 1/8th mile strips or short tracks are more common and usually cost a little less to run at.  A test-n-tune night or a street legal night are designed for regular people to go and see what their car will do. 

I went with a group of friends from work and it was the first time for all of us with the cars we drove out there to run down the track. (well I had practiced the night before)  I set a person best of 8.76 in the 1/8th mile at 82mph. 

The drag strip is a great, legal place to see where your car and other cars fall in the hierarchy of the automotive world.
