Slow car racing.
Does it offend any of you folks that I like to punch it in my minivan and race other slow vehicles? It doesn't affect me so much if you think I'm stupid or something, I'm just curious.

Drifting? Bah... I got too scared of that since that time I spun out almost completely in the rain. I would put up a vid if anyone ever filmed me doing one of my out-of-a-turn-smokey-burn outs

Hmm, depends on your definition of slow. I think anything slower than 17s 1/4 shouldnt even try to race. Then again there are those that think anything slower than 15s (ie: my car :toothless ) shouldnt be in a race either.

racing slow cars means the race lasts longer and you get more fun per race right?
i don't think anyone shuld brag about how quick their car is unless they're running like 2 seconds quicker than stock. that means a civic si can brag when hes hitting 13's but a vette can't brag till he's in the 10's. i don't know if that makes any sense but that's what i think.

I believe you race what you have and enjoy it. Hell the first car I drove alot was a plymoth reliant, and it was slow as hell hehe. Race what you have and have fun while doing it.

i don't mind slow people racing at all. last nite a mom in her earli 90's ford taurus (not SHO) actually tried to race me. didn't down shift, jus floored it, an left her. at the next lite we both jus laughed an went our ways...racing is fun, its only bad if people THINK their car is fast when they are runnin a stock civic w/ an exhaust tip.

Okay. Slow cars.....
A Triumph Spitfire makes about 86bhp. An MG Midget, 79bhp. A Mini Cooper Mk1- 100bhp with the carbs properly synched. Not one of these cars can make it to 60 in less than 8seconds. And the quarter mile times are a joke and a half. But I'd rather blast through corners and dodge cones in one of these little gems than spend a day waiting to go down a 1/4mile straightaway in 9seconds.
