I would say that most people who really have a street car, not those 8 second cars they claim are street legal, it is probably more fun to go to something like that.
at an airport near me (Elkins, WV) last saturday, there were 6000 spectators and 120 cars running with a stop light. no itme slips, just find someone to run and go at it.
I haven't been to a race for a long time that wasn't a night of fire or have some side show that had that many people watching. 5 bucks a head to watch, 30 to run. Had to wait 45 minutes in line of traffic to get in...

to me, cars with real highway/street tires just basically mess up the starting line at most drag strips.
