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...)

 

big 18wheeler with spinners all around

 

i seen a 1990 dodge caravan run 11s.

 

Electric cars

 

heh, does that read 18+ seconds?

 

two laundry trucks....

 

the headlights of a C6 when crossing the finish line....



man the orlando track has all kinda great stuff on their special event days...

 

Snowmobile the other night at Englishtown. :laugh:

 

Hey! Those sleds are fast!!!! (Atleast the ones around here are!)

 

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!

 

ford turbodeisel f series truck abusing a 98 civic at englishtown 2 weeks ago

 

Honda catch on fire at the Christmas Tree. (Does that count?)

 

A Nissan Maxima.

 

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.

 

Dodge Ram running 12.49

 

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.

 

almost cheating

 

They still have to hit their dial in and have good reaction times.

 

but common seriously. How inconsistent is a stock auto car gonna be.
At the light you hit the brake as hard as you can, you hit the gas as hard as you can, then watch the lights, which i guess would be the only part that would change from race to race. Everything else should have such consistency that it is almost like cheating! I think its cheap.

 

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!
