Have driven WOO (World Of Outlaws) cars on dirt tracks in Ohio.

my husband did the pocono driving experience, 8 laps or something like that, I got up the nerve and did the ride along, cool experience

I drag race between 3-5 times per summer (I can’t afford to attend more races than that). I have raced at Brainerd International Raceway in Brainerd Mn, asnd at Rock Falls raceway in Elk Mound Wi. I race my 1969 amc amx.

I have driven tons of drag cars fastest pass was 7.69 at 130 mph.

Nope but have you driven a MONSTER TRUCK?

I used to race junky, cobbled together,old “stock cars” on an old 1/3mile..(or so) dirt track in New Mexico.

We had to quit night racing because the Gas Station at the end of our track closed down and it was their parking lot lights that lit up turn 4 …..that was a sad day because we all worked all day and only had time to race at night..

I was in the WRC for 6 years from ’80 to ’86. I raced for Porsche and VW. I took part in 14 rallies in those 6 years. I retired early due to some accidents and contract problems that I just didn’t have the nerve to deal with. I prefer the private racing scene over the heavily publicized sanctioning bodies. Sometimes the contract/legal aspect gets in the way and it’s so much easier when the money doesn’t get in the way. Money is ruining this sport, as well as most motorsports.

Later on I went into the street racing business. That was fun for a while but it got boring fast. The drivers lack skills in most cases and if you’ve taken part in it, it’s absolutely nothing like the TV portrays it. And eventually less and less people want to race you for high stakes once they find out you’ve been a professional.

Now I just go to the track and work against the clock or whoever’s there at the time and wants to go for a spin. It’s a great sport/game. Whether it’s rallying or the circuit, it’s fun. I’m not a huge fan of drag racing though. I’ve done it and the rush is fun. It’s just not very challenging and you don’t have as much control over the race as the people who build the car do.

As for the cars I’ve driven. I’ve driven/tested about 100 racing cars all together. I can’t list all of them. My all time favorites however, have to be the Ford GT40 Mk II, the ’73 Porsche 911 Carrera RS, the 1986 Lamborghini Countach 5000QV, and the BMW M3 CLS (I own one of these).

my hubby owns and drives his own cars..started with a dirt pure stock and moved up to dirt late model
i drove the pure stock twice in eastern ohio and in west virginia..he offered to let me try the late model but i can’t see over the steering wheel and push the pedals at the same time..lol
