I'll tell you why. I wanted to go the handling route. I don't have the money it takes to race my car on a roadcourse. I was reading somewhere that most guys pay ~$300 for one weekend of racing. I could go to the dragstrip and pay $25 and run it all night long. It's in my blood. My dad drag raced and still does occasionally. Trust me I was going to do the same thing you're doing, but I ran my car 5 times down a track and I'm hooked on drag racing now.

Shit happens.
