Firebird Raceway (Phoenix AZ) Import Night

For anyone who lives in Arizona...
Firebird now has Import racing on Thursday nights. What does that mean? Friday nights are going to be LESS PACKED WITH RICE!! Ha ha....
Hope to start seeing some of you down there Friday nights!

Thumbs up

Amen Brother!!!

I get sick of seeing these 17 year old goobers running 17's in their mom's Integra, packed FULL of stereo equipment, with 5" fart mufflers, dragging water all over the track doing burnouts in the waterbox with street tires, and then talking smack in the pits about how fast their cars are.

I just don't understand this 'sport compact' fad.


Later,

I hear you on the Sport Compact fad. I think if ANY car is done correctly with proper mod's and is clean, then it's worth it. It's the loud, big cans that run the 17-18's that drive you nuts, always wrappin' the throttle. I saw a '98ish Mustang GT, lowered too far with stock rims, cheap tires, and HUGE cheap chrome tips off the back of the stock exhaust. He was "rollin'" like Vanilla Ice.

LMAO!!!

I can understand the good cars, too. I saw a turbo Honda run a clean 12.20 at 112 mph one night. But you should have seen some of the exotic hardware on that thing. He could have put 1/2 the money into a late model mustang or camaro and gone WAY faster.

I guess our fathers said the same stuff about our cars when they came along. . .

"What's with all these kids and their new-fangled computerized hunks of junk."
or
"what ever happened to points, carburetors, and big blocks?"

The other disturbing trend is these Jr. Dragsters.
Fathers are teaching their kids at an even earlier age that he who spends the most money on his car wins.

Oh well. . .long as I get to run more than once a night for $20 I guess I'm happy. I guess.
