Everyone used to whine about a car being street LEGAL, not about whether the owner drives it everyday on the street. When did the rules change? What fuel you use where has NOTHING to do with it.

High, I understand your point that people that run race gas on the track and then come flailing the slip on the street. If the guy ran a 13.1 on pump gas, then ran a 12.9 on race gas, it is STILL a 12 second car and remains a 12 second car on the street because that was his BEST time and his car's best time.

You guys are really making it more difficult than it is, we're not adjusting times for slicks, putting bricks in people's trunks. Stick to the terminology set by our wise ancestors, STREET LEGAL.

Here's an example of such a case at a legally sanctioned event.

Natural Bridge import 4 cylinder STREET Fights: Any street car can enter, although the officials let two trailered built neons that were stripped and on slicks running nitrous compete against the street cars. The cars were definately not STREET LEGAL. We all didn't talk too much shit until it came down to the final race between the neon and marshall's talon. Neon lost and we advised them to take their trailored street legal cars and leave in a polite alcohol induced way.

I see where you're coming from High, but I think the rules don't need to be rewritten yet. There is a trade-off as to the comfort level you want to maintain while driving your car everyday, some people have a need for speed that will leave their car radio/heat and a/c-less and it's still their everyday driven street car. That doesn't mean you can add weight to their car because you like music and heat. I wouldn't make you disconnect your rear driveshaft before I race you, all wheel drive launches amaze me! But it would amaze me more to see a FWD on drag radials out launch an AWD talon.
