Eclipse,
This is an example of when keeping it Real Goes Wrong.
Just my opinion of course.

The next question is...
Accept or Wuss Out?
All I have is a lowly 600 too...
This is to you and any others that share this sentiment.
Anyone can go to an auto-x or road course also. It doesnt automatically make them good. Some guys drag race years and never improve, others go 10 times and are great, essentially that can be said for road racing or auto-x as well.
I respect every form of motorsport anyone participates in with a Z/G. I used to diss auto-x till a great driving friend of mine took me for a ride in his Z at one, Ive never been so scared in a parking lot!
Everyone thinks drag racing is "easy" because its a straight line, its not. Otherwise everyone would easily better magazine times. I dont see that from the Mid-A or this site in general, just excuses. Plain and simple.
Just because dragging isnt your thing, dont diss it, because in 13, 12, or 10 seconds there is so much $hit you have to get PERFECT, its not like on a road course where you take one bad line one turn, it may burn you for the next 2, ruin your lap or barely throw you off your game. Too much throttle, too slow into the clutch, into the next gear, incorrect shift points, bad launch, etc the run is over in a milisecond. Drag racing well is a skillset like any motorsport is all Im saying.
Anyone that thinks its easy meet me at the drag strip, or tell me what you run so I can laugh at you. I have mad respect for the auto-x guys, the road course guys and especially the LNR guys who do stupid $hit but are generally skilled.

It does take real skill to drive the 1/4 mile well. Just like it takes real skill to Auto-X or Road race well.
