Thats just it i want the side by side competition. Drag racing is just boring to me not enough going on. Ive been thinking of starting in go karts or something first before jumping into a full size car.

Batavia go kart track has adult leagues 1/2 nights a week for a reasonable cost. You just show up and drive.

If I am having a good time doing it, fine. But shit I know I used to just drive random roads to see where they go all the time…sorry but to dump a tank of gas that costs ~$50, when it used to cost ~$25 is not fun. My car gets 26mpg motoring around, cant complain there. Its more the principle of it all.

I miss my mustang but I dont miss the high maintance in keeping it running 7’s @ lancaster was not cheap. I bought a DD M3 & an Enovy. Jon sell your rides & start all over its going to happen anyways, it just depends on how you manage your money.
