Have had some people ask me what grudge racing is exactly, so I decided to share.

Grudge racing is a form of drag racing quickly growing in the South, NE (NY,NY,etc.) and spreading throughout the US. Grudge racing to some is talking smack in a forum, sometimes followed up by a few pulls on the highway. This is totally different. Grudge cars are usually 7 to 10 second cars, and are very well conceiled. For instance, when a true grudge car makes it to the track on occasion, "no time" or "N/T" will appear on the rear window. This instructs the tower to not display the E/T or MPH, due to keeping the car under the radar. Grudge races are held both on the street and track, and mostly for cash. Some use the tree, and some use an arm drop. I've personally seen $10-$150 races, and some upwards of $50-$100K.

I'd love to get some grudge races going, whether it be in Orlando or Tampa. Friendly (or non) races consisting of a $20 bill or so. It's a fun way to make some cash, and anyone can do it. Let me know your interest and I'll get with some track owners on having a few grudge races held during a test and tune, street heat, etc. Hears a video of grudge race to better show what it's about:


Note: this video shows the behind the scenes, and takes some fast forwarding for the action.
