W/ drag racing, you have ONE SHOT to be right. U blow the launch - in most cases your're done. Questionable shift - DONE. You have to plug EVERYTHING the 1st time...no "fixing it the next turn." Does autox compate to a real road race - H3LL no, but you see what I mean. Is that a knock on road-course guys? Not at all - they are good at what they do. But to say that there is no skill in drag is an understatement.

Like you - I think that the pro-tree is King though - I agree.
I see, i was just throwin a cheap shot anyway. Sorry i was bored.

Anyway, yeah about the one shot in drag racing. Put it like this, my STI runs 13s and obvisously that's not all that quick. To add, when im in the car, i feel like im not all that involved. It goes staight with no issue and i feel like i can just relax between shifts. If i was in a 9 sec Mustang, even if it has a two speed. IM DRIVING!. Its kicking the whole time as im steering to keep it straight. That's drag racing. 1: the game at the light and the other to control it down the track. The closest a car in our range can do is like a short wheelbase late 70's corolla or starlet as they shake the entire way down the strip.
