I think most know that this isn't any kind of real race, more of an event to get together and run your car at whatever level you may be at. Some people go to GoodGuys, set up a chair and look at people looking at their car....uh, ok. For the folks that like to run their car in different events, this is the one to attend. (I'm talking more about the regional events then the finals in Vegas) I've seen all levels up folks running all sorts of cars. Is it for everyone? Obviously not.
It's a track day with more auto-X and speed stop then you'd get any place else. Throw in the vendors, expert drivers, an ass load of like minded people and you've got a great weekend. All that's needed is the Ultimate/Unlimited class
p.s. 1/8 mile is only half of a drag race
