The article I read pitted the cops Camaro on spray, fully built for nitrous, against all takers, mostly imports to keep the kids from racing on the street.

Is that at the County Line Speedway?

I moved down to the S FL area and want to hit up some of the track nights.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
