Did I post that link?

I remember discussing it on the "Race Results" thread... but I don't remember posting it. I don't know Just don't want to take credit that isn't due. I"m thinking it might have been JfairladyZ...

Small but important distinction. And Rod, you were correct, it was J. I've corrected the reference in the first post.

Cheers,

i fully agree down here in australia our street racing is organized and well. thats why we have a high to blast over 300kmph (180mph) if your still gaining away at that speed its safe to say you have the win. street racing you dont have to stop at 1/4 mile.

WORK TO LIVE AND LIVE TO RACE

this is a sticky from aboot a gizillion years ago----as far as i can see, the topic is still appropriate--use scca to test yer cars--not rhe street--the kid you save might be yer own................the car you save might be yers, too.......why risk having yer car crushed for street racing when yoyu can save the situation from occurring by being a little mature and using systems that are there for the express purpose of preservation of the fast and best car..........in a closed road course or drags....be safe.........and check the dates on the threads to which you post..............

Burn out's are only cool if you do them in reverse.
