It was good
The Track is Changed a Bit..more safetand Actually
Most the cars running at the Glen are Actually slower.

Wish they would zBring F1 back to the Glen
I Don't care for the Track in Austin Tx ( Actually i Hate that Track)

I Think it may have been good
Had they Run the F1 race in Hudsom county nj by the water-front
Though that Fell through

The Glen's main straight was Cool
Though you had to Slow down quite a bit
Yet that made it Fun

Road race, ice race -- more of a sports car thing. The ground doesn't exactly shake from three hundred horsepower. Fun to drive, though. Especially on ice.

I have sat in a couple of moderately impressive drag cars, but I've never driven one in anger. One friend was willing to let me make a couple of (careful) passes, but I just don't fit in his car. Impressive to stand beside at launch, though, that's for sure.

A cousin of mine owns a pro modified 57 Chevy and I sat in the seat as it was idling. Was awesome.

A hellcat. It was factory but still, those suckers are no joke. I didn't race it or anything but I did launch it for fun at a few stoplights 😅

Amazing feeling

@Stereoguy same. I go to car meets sometimes on the streets but they're risky & people can act dumb so it's rare that I do go. But I actually live in Arizona & Barrett Jackson takes place about 45 minutes away from me 😂 I still have never gone but I want to one day

A 1966 Plymouth barracuda with a built to the max 340 in it.
Lord was that monster fast.
You didn't dare leave the doors open while I was idling for fear they would hit the ground from it rocking from the cam lobe. LOL

@Dainbramadge Love it!

@Stereoguy Very fast and very loud. LOL. Very cramped inside, I was too tall for the headroom while wearing helmet and with the rollcage. It was built to fit a shorter guy than me. The race versions are not all adjustable, just lightweight shell seats fixed in place.

They tell me I touched 175 on the straight but I chickened out in the corners so my lap times weren't that impressive. The Motor sits right behind you with a lightweight plexi screen so the engine noise + road and wind makes it deafening. I only had on the helmet should have had earplugs as well.

I've owned a couple of "ground shakers" in the past.

But have now come to realize that owning and maintaining one is like throwing money in a dark hole on the driveway.......

Years ago I used to race dirt track. Not sure the ground vibrated under it but there was a pulse in the air for sure. I miss those day. :)

@Stereoguy Probably not. If I were to do anything it might be a cam to give it a little more lope and low end. But I'm a Sunday cruiser with nowhere to be in a hurry when driving something like that.

@Stereoguy in the family her van was considered as a race car. I got to drive it just once before she died like 20 year's ago. I still remember driving it

I've been in the passenger seat of a drag car. Guy I once worked for got the idea he needed one, something about one of his cousins racing and he wanted to show them up. My boss was friends with a local businessman who had an early 70's Camaro he was tired of playing with so one afternoon I went with him to take a look. It was parked at a shop way out of town so "taking it for a spin" meant finding a reasonably straight stretch of county road and opening it up. Climbing in the car with his wasn't the smartest thing I ever did. The car had been professionally built but had changed hands a few times so no one was sure of the history, other than it had ran on a strip near here and was fast.

Typical of this particular person, he managed to "borrow" the car for a few months and as near as I can remember no money ever changed hands. He took it once to a track in another state where his cousins lived but there was a problem with an oil line so he didn't get to run, brought it back here, and parked it under a shed at a friends house until the owner wanted it back.

@Stereoguy We didn't always get along but things got better once I was no longer depending on him for a paycheck. There's lots of funny stories and the owner of a lumber yard I deal with always ask "have you heard from the cajun lately?" I'll tell him the latest story I've heard and he'll shake his head and laugh.

Ya mad ya bugger, driving a race car is very dangerous, not as dangerous as a mad wife on the warpath 😁

@Stereoguy I realise that thru a few of your comments. Be by Her side. Always.

nope, doubt I ever will... It's not really a complaint of mine about the thrill some might find from, I'm more gentle and I'm guessing more of this world needs not celebrating these things?
