VG,
Points well taken, but honestly the one about "the line was too long" is pretty cheesy (IMHO)...
Get there early enough and it won't be an issue would be my response...
I've heard Moroso can be a Shithole of a track and I would hope that you've been to better tracks (or at least when they've prepped Moroso, I know it's got bite, it broke a set of hardened axles on my friends GT last year).

I've seen people toss their vehicles at both street races and track races.. Biggest difference to me? Track race.. safety crew on scene very quickly, on site ambulance, etc..
Street race, every one hauls ass to get out of there before the cops come, very few stay behind to help the people (if needed). Again, my personal experiences.....

Personally I prefer the prior, but that's just me.

stroked85,
Good points on the on and off track stuff. Sounds like you have been on both sides.

As far as me being "cheesy". Most up there think I am on the $$, only some do not. But think about this. I went over the finish line at 148 mph with the digital tac @ 6080 RMP. The Viper off NOS will never ever hit in the 140's, NEVER. So that lead me to beleave that it is long. Like I said befor. I will be up there this week and I will run a wheel and find out for my self. If I am wrong than I owe alot, and I mean alot of folks up there a big apoligy. And I am man enuf to do that. If I am right, and it is long from where Floyd and Scott had us start than I am right and will have to move on. I'm not looking for no one to be on my side. This is getting lame, I know. But alot would still like to know. Like I always say to my self " self, if you need somthing done, do it your self. " So I am willing to drive 600 + miles round trip to find out the answer.
