nice

 

Thanks!!!! That was tight.

 

thanks good vid but i still like the streets better

 

you can teach a monkey to drive in a straight line but it takes mad skills to take the turns and not lose speed. i personally like the track events alot better.

Try and drive a rwd car that has more than 450hp and tell me a monkey could do it.

 

most people with driver's licenses can drive in a straight line without a problem (if they are sober), torque steer is totally different, i will give you that. i still think that it takes more technique to consistantly take corners at higherspeeds rather than driving in a straight line and making corrections for torque steer. a professional drag race wont last more than a few seconds. a professional track event will take a longer time span.

bottom line: consistancy for a drag racer means that every heat you dont hit a wall or your opponent for a few seconds. you dont have to worry about your opponent cutting you off at all because he (or she) has to stay in his (or her) lane nor do you have to worry about your opponents position on turns.
in the track events, there are no lanes and you have to worry about your opponents positions, drafting, turns, and even portions of the track that are straight.

it takes talent to perform well on both track and drag. i just think that the track racers have and advantage over the drag racers. all track racers can drive fast in a stright line, not all drag racers can take fast runs.

that is all...

 

a gorilla could do it if it were an automatic

I agree that drifting or road racing requires more endurance and a lot of times more skill, but it takes skill to not let up at a drag strip while your spinning your tires for the first few gears when the backend wants to be your front end.
