Ahh another KNOB who thinks it would be GREAT to build something different. Why cant people like this just P off and go swamp buggy racing or stamp collecting, anything but showing up drag racing.

Not really, after 20 plus years in Drag Racing I have had enough of the "Lets build something different brigade" and the "Wouldn't it be great if we had all those great cars we saw running 20 years ago brigade"

Drag Racing is all about winning not coming second or "trying hard" or "putting on a great show" That is what I find hard to understand with all this retro nonsense the UK seems to be embracing
