I two big reasons you don't see dig races much anymore are 1) Cars have a LOT more power than they used to, and 2) Most cars are equipped with "luxury" type suspensions with IRS or other "soft" axles.

It's just normal now for cars to have over 400whp. While there have been strong cars around for years and years, I don't think it's even been so common to have 500, 600, and 700hp engines in people's daily drivers. And that's the thing, these are people's daily drivers.....not all out drag cars. So most aren't spending tons of money (that they don't have anyway) to convert their cars over to dig racing, and giving up all the other niceties of their stock suspension.

By the way, you guys need to go up into Hall County. And also, race when there's no one else around. I'm just guessing here, but I doubt the cops would be out looking for street racers if innocent commuters weren't constantly SEEING these people race on the highways.
