I know it was rhetorical, but in any case it can't unless its also a shaker rig, which it isn't. It would all be canned. Aimed at Need For Speed and other arcade racing game fans.

They are using Drag Tag as the catch so they don't have to say street racing.

Am I right or wrong in saying this.

It's both, drag and track racing.

Retro, I'm right at the bottom. I'm just running an XR6 Falcon, which has a few mods, and only does high 14s (currently tuning the car to do low 14s) and 95-odd mph traps. I'm still very much a novice but am enjoying it and having a go.

Maybe thats how it can suceed, Calder Park on a Friday in June/July, or a heated factory in Campbellfield???

That's pretty good Venom only trouble is when you get to the low 14's the high 13's start to look good.

I know you probably have your own forums but Dragster magazine has a good small forum where a lot of racers hang out. You will see me there.(Google Dragster)

And if you are a hard core NHRA fan Google Nitromater, it seems to be THE forum.

Yeah, high 13s would be a very quick NA 6cyl Falcon.

Thanks for the tips, I try and watch NHRA on Foxtel when I get the chance, especially when the funny cars are on.

With all the negative publicity about street racing in the media it's probably not such a bad idea.

I'm sure some nervous nelly will jump on the do-gooder bandwagon and get their 15 minutes by claiming that this sort of thing contibutes to and encourages illegal street racing.

I THINK there is a Drag Racing group in Victoria that is now sending out a press release to any tv station or newspaper explaining what Drag Racing is whenever these media people use the words *Drag Racing* in any News stories that feature a road crash.

It's the only sport that requires 2 balls.
