can spinning be winning?

A "REAL RACE" as you guys put it is any type of racing that 2 indiviuals or more is competing in against each other on some agreed type of rules and the winner is based upon the rules used befor the race. Dig racing is for some, highways for other, twisties for others. Its all in what you enjoy. Thats what nobody seems to do anymore is just ENJOY. Thats why I think there are a bunch of fakes on here always talk about racing and you walk up and ask then to race for FUN and they say no you would beat me. Thats just pathedic

I agree for the most part. However, there are limits to what is "realistic" to even try. You, for example, have more HP than most of the people on here...in many cases by a large margin. Therefore, its kinda ludicrous to expect someone with a 300 whp car to go run you 40-140 when youve got double their power. It should at-least be fair, unless the slower car really just wants to see the faster one run.

To me horse power numbers mean nothing in the world to me. The only time they matter is during a dyno day. I know of a certain car who weighs 3900LBS and according to the dyno only makes 740RWHP yet at the track it ran a 10.1 at 141MPH and he was on and off the throttle for the first 60ft and only leaving off the footbrake. To me racing should be fun for everyone than there are people who make it very unfun I'm not mentioning any names bet there are.HP #'s to me mean nothing if the car won't go anywhere mine is a good example. Is it fast? YES. Will it do anything on its street tires? NO. But I'm to lazy to switch out tires and wheels all the time so I just leave them be and except that I will probably loose to alot of cars because of traction but thats my choice non the less and I won't make excuses for it. But I still race even though I won't catch traction and I know that.
