What's the strangest thing you have seen race down a dragstrip?
Some people will bring anything to the strip
Last night at the local 1/8 mile dragstrip (Sunshine in Clearwater) I saw a guy line up with a snowmobile
to race a streetbike.
(I live in Florida, btw...)

18 wheeler running 14's whooping up on the local rice. And ATV's with blazing 1/8 times-they run out gearing shortly after though and bounce rev limiter in 5th the rest of the way. IIRC one went 13.8 @ 86 <----needs more gear!

There is a Tercel that runs at Infineon in Sport/Street that wins a lot. His dial is usually somewhere around 19.90. He is a good driver and keep meticulous records.

there's an accord that goes to the track and dials in a 17.2 and won last year. Kinda hard to mess up your runs in an stock auto accord i guess.

At atco a couple of weeks ago I saw two camo painted jeep wranglers that were seriously lifted with big mud tires and they were drag racing!
