Ive been wanting to take my car to the track for a while now. I know its not fast, but its more a curiosity factor. The thing is, its a 98 buick regal LS (NA) and as soon as i pull in everyone will be like wtf? It will prob run mid 15s. I know people will ask me why i brought it since i dont really have time to back it up.

I plan on doing a few more things to it and i really would like to see what kind of difference it made.

So the question is…  
Should I go, or save myself the humiliation of draggin the granny car 😃

i know there are alot of haters around and i for one have gotten mad at the track waiting for alot of 15-18 second cars to make their passes but i for one am lucky enough to have a car that i can take to the track and keep clean all the time cause i don’t use it as a daily driver and am fortunate to have other vehicles that i own. what i’m trying to say is just go and have fun. it is such a rush to go racing and i’m sure you’ll be hooked. if i didn’t have a fast car i would still be drag racing my 15-18 second daily driver. don’t worry what other people think, go and have a blast.

Forget what others think about your car. As long as YOU enjoy doing it, thats all that matters. I drive a Hyundai Tiburon for christ sakes, I mean come on, you can’t get worse then that.
