Drag racing, who loves it, who has never done it?

[Kern Dog]

I figure that the average man probably has never ran a car down the strip but what about owners of legendary cars that are famous for their muscle car image?
Are you an active racer? Drag strip, street racing, road course or autocross?
I know that traditionally, these cars were more likely to be drag raced rather than run on a road course but surely the NASCAR Chargers revved you up, right?



Cars like this inspired me to set the stance on my car the way that I did.



How about street racers? I'm not referring to the assclowns that race 4 cars at a time like you see in the Fast and Furious movies, I'm thinking like American Graffiti, "Paradise road" with Milner versus the black 55 Chevy.
Have you ever lined up against someone out in the sticks away from traffic?
I'll admit, I do let 'er loose on the street a bit but if/when I do, no cars are in front of me and I don't go much past the speed limit....I just rocket up to it. That is okay, right?
What about you guys?

Definitely! in my 20's with this car I was an idiot on the street, but now I do more like the OP with getting it up to the speed limit as quickly as possible.

I have raced my Charger many times, mostly when it was still green in the late 90's early 2000's. Got as quick as 12.86 @109 until I pulled it off the road.

Raced it a few years back after the restoration and switching to a 4 speed and I couldn't break into the 13s, way too much wheelspin at the start but it sure was fun.
