I ran the Turismo (DF/S) at the Spring Fling one year, 1000' bracket race. First round, I drew a Top Sportsman car. Tree'd him, broke out by a thou. "Darn" Look up, and he's sideways in front of me in my lane. If he'd lost it at half track, he would've gone THROUGH me, and I don't think any amount of roll cage, 5-way harness, helmet, neck restraints etc could've save me given the MPH difference. While I did finish out the weekend, I can chalk it up to one of the dumber things I've done. 8-second cars have no business in Stock.
This pic is just from a 'Dash for Cash' run (handicapped start, but no stripe-drivin' involved), against another Top Sportsman car. I snapped the pic when he was 400' BEHIND me. Gives you an idea of how much ground they cover. That's the 1000' stripe in the mirror.
