I don't run my car, because I 'm not interested in drag racing. Plus I don't have time to fix my own car when I am up to my eyes in work.
My back ground in racing Motorcross and road racing which is big in the UK. I raced bikes for 7+years on tracks ( On and off road) so going in a straight line for 1/4 as fast as you can never did it for me.
Not to mention , my CRX wouldn't hook till 4th gear
