Drag Racing is addicting. You are never fast enough. Here in Texas the big dog street racers have 648ci pro- mod type motors in there so called street cars. Most of these guys have $25,000+ in just the motor. I have been racing for about 8+ years and if I sit back and think about it I have probably spent around $100,000 over the last 8+ years on parts, cars, etc.. Every time you go to the track and see someone thats faster you go home and bust out the Summit or Jeggs catolog and figure out how much more you need to spend to out run them. They have that run what you brung and hope you brung enough attitude around here. Its an addicting and expensive hobby. Why couldnt I have just liked basket ball or something like that.
