Going Fast
 

...to quote that famous race car driver Ricky Bobby in the 2006 movie Talladega Nights, “I wanna go fast.”

Johnny - Good read for sure .And I felt the same way this past weekend at the recent Stock/SuperStock combo race at Atco.First round my car hooked hard and I knew it was going to be a 'fast pass' - and like you I got into the sevens ( but mine was 7.69 @1000') and I really hated to lift and blip but I knew I was going to run out ( and did) .The feeling of a fast pass is always going to be there .........

To me, "going fast" means squeezing all of the performance possible out of your combination. Unfortunately, sportsman racing has been dumbed-down ( as Ed Wright would say) to the point that "going fast" now has little to do with lighting up "that little bulb".

Many people, racers included will often say "dragsters are boring" and especially running S/C.....but strap some of these folks that say that into one and turn it loose and their opinion might change.

I mostly run S/C but occasionally let it fly and it gets my attention......real quick.....and undoubtedly feels good after a few hits....and usually puts a smile on my face.....
