I had my own little drag car back in the day, a 67 barracuda with a 426 hemi, it was all I could do at times to keep it on the road.

As for drag racing, I used to go with a buddy of mine to Cecil County dragway in Maryland. He had a race only Chevy Nova he raced. Seemed pretty boring to me until the day they called trophy day. I entered my stock VW and won a 24-1/4" high trophy for being first in my class....of which there was no others All I had to do is to not beat my time trials for the race run, in which I was paired with a homemade dragster which also was the only one in it's class. I was just shifting into second gear when I saw the chute from the dragster open.

That had to be a blast. What did you clock, like a 24 or something?

I believe it was 23. something. I know that it felt like forever to finish and I could see the bored looks on the faces of those in the stands.

Didn't matter to me, I got my trophy. I heard one evidently die hard racer make a comment about drag racer wannabes coming in on trophy day. Kinda cracked me up since I had no desire to race. Hey, I didn't make up the rules that allowed me to walk away with that trophy
