Uhhh.... I think most of us here street race... but I indulde(d) in 'touge' racing and have screwed around in the dirt roads rally style... I would like to go semi/pro and get into real drag-racing, sprint, auto-cross, rally and/or drift though...

[CBFryman]

you are allowed to choose morethan one...just to let you know.

[-The Stig-]

I drive my car... and if somebody wants to play. They are more than welcome to.

That's about it for me.

I Bracket race (ET Race) the car in my sig. I run in Bracket 1 (allowed to use delay box, two step, trans brake).

[CassiesMan]

I voted for street drag and highway, cuz, well....thats what I do.

[Ace$nyper]

You should add circuit racing to your poll.

Isom, KY. Mountain Motor Speedpark. (edit: Isom, KY is in Eastern, KY, or Letcher County, KY to be more specific)

It's a local non-sanctioned 330 ft. drag strip and 1/8th mile dirt track. I reckon they use IHRA rules, or atleast that's what it used to be. There is three classes: Bracket 1, Bracket 2, and Trophy. Bracket 1, most all electronic devices are allowed, you must have a roll cage, you must have atleast 4 point seat belts, and you have to run a certain ET (I think its 0-5.49), no track counters, no down track stuttering, basically, the same rules that you would find at any other track, except you don't have to go through tech. The regular show is $1000 to win, $500 for runner up, $75 for 3rd and 4th, or $150 if there ends up being 3 cars left instead of 4. The entry fee is $40 for driver and car.

Bracket 2 is the non-electronics class, or foot break. Here, any kind of vehicle goes (street or track car), so the speeds vary greatly. Some cars in this class run 4.70s and then some are 8 second daily drivers, lol. You are allowed to use a line-lock in this class but nothing else. I'm not sure, but I think they pay $500 for the winner, $250 for runner up and I believe it cost $30 to enter.

Trophy Class is for street cars. There is the occasional trailored car, but mainly street cars. I think you pay $20 and you race for $200.

Its a really fun track actually. It doesn't hook as good as other tracks (our car is usually atleast a tenth faster in the 60' and 330' at any other track, sometimes even more) but its really close to home for me (like 30 miles or something) compared to any other tracks that's close. The closest one besides it is over 2 hours.

Pretty much the same people show up every weekend, and its actually really tough to win there! My best overal run (as in my sig) was .012 from being a perfect run, and I still only won the race by a couple hundreds of a second. Honestly, in order to win there, you about have to get a .520 or better reaction time (.500 base tree) and run within .020 of your dial. And even at that you will loose more races then you win, and its not like you have alot of time during a race either (330 ft, I run it 4.4x usually, probably close to 85 mph).

There is usually around 100 total cars at the track, which is not too bad. There is usually anywhere from 18-22 or so that run in my class.

No road course racing option?

I've driven most of the road courses in the Northeast US. Here's the list:
Lime Rock, NHIS, Mosport, Mt. Tremblant, Bridgehampton, Watkins Glen, Summit Piont, VIR.

I've also done the occasional autocross and one rallycross.

Ky huh? That's cool, i'm from IL. What's your best time at the track so far? I take it that you mean it's Index racing since you have to be within a certain time right?

The parkland drag car that i help out with(not much at all lately) runs the 1/8 mile usually in Charleston IL. We usually run low 7's, my best simulated reaction time was a .478 and that was going from a pro starting tree, which is supposed to be quicker. Are you trying to work your way up to NHRA or do you just do it for fun?
