Which would you do at a weekend event? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I grew up around drag racing and have worked on some fast car up to Mike troxel's Top Alcohol Dragsters. Though the thrill of acceleration is over the top, I still prefer the prolonged seat time of a good road course event.

I also like drifting as that is a lot tougher then what it looks like and back driving dirt cars it was always a blast to throw a car into a corner sideways at WOT.

After the MTI Funfest I would like the drag strip, would like to get mine to 155 or somewhere close. I enjoyed the road course, my tires didn't though.

The one thing I'd love to do is the rally stuff. Like someone said, something about driving an AWD car on dirt roads seems very intriguing!

Drag

But I would LOVE to get some seat time on a road couse .

I prefer road courses and autocross events. Drag racing is fun and that's mostly what I've done but it's over in a matter of seconds.

Flat out drag racing. No reason other than it thrills me more than road courses. Also seems like a lot less chance of something going wrong with another car.
