National Trail Drag way.

Are there any classes I can take while being a minor? I havent found any?

Oh LOL I thought you meant ATV trails.

Same with drag strips! BE careful!

Troutly, my brother is a retired policeman, you guys see some bad wrecks. Thank god we have people like you who deal with these kinda terrible things. I personally couldn't do it.

I used to street race a fair amount and I had my share of close calls. But I decided to stop because it wasn't worth it. I will however spend a good amount of time at the dragstrip once I do get another fast car. Boat racing open canopy is very dangerous too and your chances of hurting another team are pretty good. Street/drag racing goes back in my family for years, my Uncle and Dad did it all the time. Things were different back then though and the streets were much less crowded. I agree street racing is bad, but I've seen a lot of paramedics preach that and then have them fly by me at 60 in a 45 in their personal vehicles. Same with cops.

Another thing, I've seen more accidents caused by Chevy Tahoe drivin moms (no offence) yackin on their cell phones who run slam into a parked car. It's funny how the Authobahn has fewer accidents overall than the US highway system, but yet you can break 200mph on Authobahn.

Go race go carts or Junior dragster.

I am 33 now and have been riding since I was 3 and racing at 5. I have raced everything with wheels on it and crashed, but I have always had good safety gear on. One collar bone and one ACL tear I just did on my YZ450 aint bad for 30 years of racing and crashing. And I have had some big get off's on my Superbike two in one weekend both well over 125 mph and all it did was make me a little sore and drain my bank account to fix the bike.

I had my share of the "stop light grand prix" and I was lucky I never crashed or made anybody crash or lost any friends but it would have happened if we all didn't go racing at the track's, now after doing it as a pro I dont even feel the need to do it on the street. Plus once you and your buddies get racing licenses your can rent a track all to yourselves and do in safe.

I crashed street racing once, no injuries, but it was a wake up call. The bragging rights are better at the drag strip anyway Tommy, the honeys will be more impressed by tropheys and triple digit trap speeds than by a street race. Sets you on a level above the "kids" racing on the street.

Troutly...do you ever forsee the highway system raising the speed limits to a uniform 70 or 75 mph, or is there just too much congestion these days as compared to the 50s - 60s when the speed limits were 75. I know there are areas where the limits have been raised, but it's not everywhere.

I called mid ohio today, have 2 minor race classes. Asking for them for christmas.

Get into bike racing Hyper, slow guys on nice bikes are still slow, fast guys on all most any race bike are still fast. You don't have to have a ton of cash to race and win on bikes although it helps. Bike's are cheaper than cars to race. Let me know if you need any help with getting a bike or setting one up. How big are you ?
