Re: ClassRacer.com Christmas Giveaway!
 

What I love about class racing is whole craft of the game that continually makes you think, think, think to run with the best. From the tiring research of out- engineering the factory engineers to finding a few more hp’s to the quick look at the flag before your last dial number goes on, class racers are the most intelligent, competitive, driven racers on the planet, and the beauty is….anyone can join and do it too.
My favorite things:
• Waking up to the screech of the track being dragged in the AM, knowing it’s for us.
• The first call, “Stock to the lanes!” or “Super Stock to the lanes!” depending on what I’m driving first.
• The flip of the coin “do you have a lane preference?” and all the personalities that go with that encounter.
• The research and talent of qualifying on the ladder where you want (Thanks NJ Stats!), picking a spot and nailing it.
• Taking my thumb off of the button on the last yellow and knowing it was way close! (They’re in trouble now!)
• The tight top end racing (who took that stripe?)
• Your win light on!
• Watching the best drive the stripe when your day ended early.
What the best thing of class racing? All of it; the challenges of your class rules, the friends, the food, the travel, the struggles, the victories, the coulda, woulda, shoulda’ s, the bench racing, looking at a Wally on the way home and knowing you were the best that day. What more could you ask for a car guy?
Thanks Wally Parks!

Aside from the obvious, making friends,and meeting cool people.... Class Racing allows average people like myself and my brother (two blue collar working guys) the opportunity to compete at a very high level against some of the best racers in the country. All the hard work we put into our cars in our backyards is able to be shown at not only a regional level, but at a National level as well. It gives "the little guy" a chance to win the "Big One"... I think that's pretty cool, and that's what keeps us going.

I like class racing because it's a safer place to throw away my hard earned money. the wife strongly objects to giving $ for things like lap dances. I get to go all around the country and (try to) whip some serious butt. going to these class races, everyone else brings great food and I also drink their beer. what's not to love? where else can you go, be a bum, talk smack, meet all kinds of other freaks and geeks, and run a fast car without getting locked up? and I guess I should add this one last thing:
The Chicks dig Porsche's
lol, Merry Christmas everyone!

Re: ClassRacer.com Christmas Giveaway!
 

In the short time I've been participating, my favorite thing about class racing is, hands down....DUMPING THE CLUTCH!!!
Coming in a close second, is interacting with the folks walking through the pits, just after a run they've watched me make. The disbelief when they see what's under the hood and get a quick rundown of the rules is priceless, and so is the feeling of accomplishment in knowing I built the thing myself!

Re: ClassRacer.com Christmas Giveaway!
 

OK Heres some more then.....

Driving 2800 miles to go to Indy because thats the measuring stick for us Class Racers
only to not qualify, still had a great time

Driving 2200 mile to go to No Problem for the Sportsnationals because you told Pat you would go when he talked about building his track. Thank you Pat still one of the best experiences of my life.

At that same race having such a good time came up .660 against the puppy and believe was his first round win. Shaking the dogs hand afterward because it was the right thing to do. That Puppies one hell of a racer.....

Spending countless hours in a garage with your brother's who have tried and continue to try to teach you what they know and just not getting it and knowing you could not do it without them. I guess I provide the entertainment....

In all as stated before its something different to be a class racer and to go through or do the things we do to be a part of this. When the win light is on its a rush and when it does'nt well we'll skip that, but most of all it's about the people and the fact that coast to coast we all have and work at the same craft.

Have a Great Holiday and We''ll see you at Pomona.

Holy, moly! Thank you so much!! The drag strip will go in my granddaughters' toy closet, though I suspect their Uncle Jared & I will be playing with it a lot, too!

Merry Christmas and thanks again!
