well the sportsman classes was & is the original back bone of dragracin'............That used to be me in those classes...... -----Original Message----- From: tcb-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:tcb-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Dan Martin Sent: Friday, March 31, 2006 12:59 PM To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [tcb] Re: Friday websites... I have been to the NHRA drag races. You FEEL dragsters! I have been standing on the flight deck of a couple aircraft carriers next to F14 and the like. That kinda ruined drag racing for me. The most painful part of drag racing for me is the sportsman classes AFTER funny car and top fuel qualifying. I will watch or go to just about any kind of motorsports event, but I really prefer F1 to all others.
