Ok so how about telling everyone the time you will run for your laps. Can you come within a hundredth of a second to that? I bet you can't. Maybe us drag racers should teach you how to run the time you claim and if you don't, you are eliminated. Yeah drag racing is the only sport where you can go from 0-330 mph in 4 seconds and make more than 7,000 hp.

I can do the same when comparing skill level. Autocrossing requires no skill all you do is drive in between the cones. Hell I drove in between cones during drivers ed, big fucking deal.

It is about driver skill. While drag racing is about the drivers ability to make his car faster, and drive the car faster than the other guy. it also allows slower cars to compete against faster cars allowing the race to solely be determined on driver skill.
Autocrossing, if you have a faster car, who wins?, If you are a good driver and a faster car, who wins? You can't pit it one on one driver verse driver unlike drag racing.

Wonder how many drag racers would hand the auto crossers their ass at G-Force Karts??? I know a few drag racers that have whooped the shit out of the road racer/autocross at G-Force.

Nobody gives a fuck about autocrossing here. Look at the websites name. There is a little section for you slow cars to feel better about being slow. I suggest you venture that section. This thread said Richmond Dragway on it, so get lost, you don't belong. We don't give a flying fuck about autocrossing, so go preach that bullshit elsewhere before you get flamed in every single post.
There is a local club in richmond that has drag racers and auto xers. They preached the auto x bullshit so much, people left because they were ridiculously pompous.

j- sharp isn't even a fair description of how bad that turn is... my car wants to cut off from stopping so abruptly, then having to pull the wheel around atop that is crucial.

i'm still open for that rematch

and mo, i hear ya on that sharp turn.. what sucks is when you're in the left lane and beat the right lane by 3 seconds and 25mph, and have to wait for their stupid ass to learn how to use the breaks... i could ahve made the first exit, but no, that bitch couldn't figure out how to slow down..
