Re: Lost in a drag racing

Well, unless you are driving a top fuel car, you should already be leaving on the bottom bulb (amber of course) and maybe from your RT, you may want to leave on the middle bulb.

As far as putting a turbo or any "go fast" parts on your car. Unless you have something to prove, and a lot of money to spend on it, I would suggest you find something a bit more appropriate for the task.

What track did you find a "heads-up" race for cars in your class? I would love to find a true "bracket" race to run in, but not a lot of them around here (Colorado/Texas)

And finally, for those who may confuse the two, there is a difference between a "bracket" race, and ET racing.

Re: Lost in a drag racing

Haha ok...
Yes, I'll never use my Windstar again for that, I just wanted to prove that a minivan can be fast...

My track was at Mirabel Airport in QC. This airport is definitively closed, so we use it for street race. Lot of space and flat road.

Yes it was a "heads-up" race. Mixed class. Mean that a Chevy Cavalier can run against a Ferrari Enzo. Each one run against his friend. Mine has a Mazda 3 sedan.

A Windstar without having the check engine light is not a real Windstar.
