That sucks.

I go DR sometimes though. Not competitively. I don't have the $ for that..

I've always wanted to try AX, but I don't know where to go..

I will give you a guess as to what I do with mine

Mr. Red Pony · February 19th, 2011, 08:45 PM

mcqueen · February 19th, 2011, 09:02 PM

Smoothgrandmama · February 19th, 2011, 10:37 PM

Broke the diff cover, fried the clutch packs and screwed up the gears a little...

Serlin · February 20th, 2011, 12:32 AM

I bought mine for one reason, and one reason only (see below for videos

By the way, my feeling has always been that if it breaks on the race track, then it was going to break soon any way, so... cant really blame the racing.

GreenMustang00 · February 20th, 2011, 12:58 AM

F8L just goes on Import nights at the tracks :p

I've gone drag racing.. Was when car was mostly stock and completely slow

F8L GT · February 20th, 2011, 12:59 AM

I've taken mine down the track a time or two.

plak424 · February 20th, 2011, 09:55 PM

I've done drag racing in the stang and then autox and drag in the SAE car I built. Got to say auto x in that thing is a blast. I've always wanted to in the stang but i need some new springs and shocks before I even attempt it. The car I autox'd is my avatar.

Mr. Red Pony · February 20th, 2011, 11:15 PM

How long / how much did it take you to build it? Got specs on it?

Rich J · February 21st, 2011, 03:27 AM

I've done a little drag racing... Although a 16.3 1/4 mile time shouldn't be considered drag racing.... More just rolling down a 1/4 mile long piece of track....

Puts a lot more stress on things when you race at the track, so once my car is done I don't think I will run it there more than 3 times total. Plus I don't want a roll cage.
