It better be cheaper than a T n T. Otherwise…what’s the use? I agree that it’d be nice with the FLD guys running it. ---

with the flashlight guys running it you can get 10 to 15 races … withe the homos from prp maybe 5 … ---

yeah but you get no slips and for me its all about the slip i get to see how well my car is doing for what i got done. Plus they wont prep the track so no traction… 60’s are the funnest part of racing. And then what if someone blows up and oils the track? They gonna have PRP’s crew out there? Doubt it ---

I’m just saying you dont get a slip so the advantage of 10-15 runs at FLD compared to 4-5 at PRP tnt doesnt mean much. I wouldnt consider it an advantage at that point Sure its fun tho ---

The only “slip” I ever got street racing was one that said I owed the magistrate $210. There’s nothing like seeing a tired looking, primer SE-R blowing the doors off a shiny new vette or some similar race where no one knows who’s faster. Throw times into the mix and the suspense will be gone. If you want to test and tune there are plenty of days for that. ---

> There’s nothing like seeing a tired looking, primer SE-R blowing the doors off a shiny new vette or some similar race where no one knows who’s faster. Throw times into the mix and the suspense will be gone. Same thing can be said at test and tunes… you dont know what the other car is running either until you race him and find out. Or if you’ve seen the car run before then you maybe have an idea but other than that, you get lined up randomly with all kinds of cars. I dont think any of the cars i’ve raced would have guessed my car would go mid high 10’s. There were days i wouldnt have guessed the guy next to me would run as good as he/she did too. Either way i still think both can be fun its just nice to have a slip showing how the car ran thats all I do see the purpose of FLDs… except alot of street racing is roll racing and i guess they dont do that there? ---

BTW The PRP Event called the “stoplight drags” are NOT sponsored by the folks who run the “Flashlight Drags”. The 2009 Flashlight Drags schedule will be released at the “World of Wheels” show. ---
