Its pisses the slick car guys off to come to a TNT to do some R&D and get only 3 passes because of the zillion street cars running. And the they call a gamblers race And hardly of of them will run the gamblers.

Your calling race cars trailer queens? Thats funny. I would think a show car that is never driven and is never run long enough to come up to temp would be a trailer queen. Not a racecar that is takin off the trailer and have the shit beat out of it all day.

no one runs gamblers cause bracket racing is:greddy:

I could care less if you can drive the shit outta your auto. I was refering to the how much more fun it is to drive a manual. Other than trying to get a clean launch there aint shit to driving an auto. And I would take my 6 speed over your auto w/o hesitation.

I kinda see your point (but dont agree) but I am not obsessed with racing. I like to rip my car around and race it every once and a while. So I would say for me at least a 6 speed is way better than an auto. Like I said before after the launch there aint shit to an auto, so for me it would be boring. I can care less if an auto can pull better and more consistant times.

No one runs gambler races? No one bracket races? Where have you been? :jerkit:

Ok I will just drive my 13 to 1 BBC car 40 miles to the race track w/a 5 gallon cell that sucks down a gallon and a half of race fuel every 1/4 mile.

I do run in the 9’s. And did you ever hear of moroso park? I guess they hold a seven day event paying out 10,000 a day every year for bracket racers for nothing. And i guess all the track’s john force races just close up for the year after all the pros leave. Ever hear of the sumit super series? You ever hear of quick 16? You want to talk about professionals. Ever hear of super gas, street rod, hot rod and quick rod classes? And i guess you think all those 8 second street cars are really driven to the track? Ok i’m done now.
