Coming from both worlds drag racing does take just as much skill as road course racing. The only difference is on a road course you have to maintain that precision for a much longer period of time. After driving a 400whp miata sideways up to 70mph I can say to get a good time slip without destroying it would take some serious skill. I'll still stick to the corners though.

yes they both take skill...but the strip is a WAY diff type of skill that the track..but in a few ways there is a lill bit that is the same...not tooo much tho
When you have a powerful car coming off a corner and sliding is about the same as coming off the line sliding. It takes a good bit of skill to keep the car going straight either way. And if you're running in a spec series those tenths spent sliding and shifting can make the difference between a win or not. And I know a certain miata that can run with more than a few GTO's. And Josh, try to get in the drivers seat before you try to steal it. My fat ass has a hard enough time with the steering wheel off. lol
