Not sure what you think I said, but nothing in my post said anything about what people enjoy. In fact based on this thread only dms and I seem to be into road racing while everybody else is talking about 1/4 mile. Of course everybody enjoys what they're doing or they wouldn't be doing it.
My point which may have gotten lost in the verbage was that 1/4 mile racing typically compares car against car which is a function of horsepower and traction in a 1/4 mile race. Saying that one make or model of car is "better" than the other because it won in a 1/4 race just seems silly to me. It's purely a matter of who has the most money to buy hp and traction and once you're at that point it makes no difference what make or model the car is. It was the hp and traction that won.
Do people enjoy doing it? Sure, that's why they spend the money on it but there's really no reason to argue or have hard feelings towards one another over it. It's just money and mods.
Road course and autocross is MUCH more demanding on the driver and the "thrill" lasts longer, and to me that's a lot more satisfying than spending tens of thousands for a few seconds of thrill. I'm sure dms would probably agree with me but that's just 2 of us against the tide in here lol.
