Drag Racing =)





I love drag racing! But it runs in the family so its no surprise. My papaw,dad,uncle,cousins either have or do drag race. The day i was born my uncle raced in the Bracket finals. I love going to the track and being around the cars and the people. In my family at the moment we have 4 racers, 3 of my cousins and my uncle(although there will hopefully be a 5th soon! Me!). Two of the cars are Jr. Dragsters (which are half scale models of Top fuel Dragsters)since i was 8 years old or even younger i have longed to drive one of these cars. I would tell one of my uncles racing friends that i wanted a purple and pink one for my birthday. I have been to races every Saturday in the spring/summer/fall ever since i can remember. Racing is in my blood, every time i go to the track especially now that i have my license and a car, I'm dieing to race. However due to my moms reluctance to let me, it might have to wait till I'm 18, which is only a few more months so i guess i can wait. My uncle drives a super pro or alcohol dragster which is really really cool, i hope to have one of them someday. Its amazing to feel that drag racing is in your veins, i physically can not pull out of a red light slowly, i absolutely have to slam the gas to the floor, there's no choice. Mom tried and tried to get that out of me while i had my learners permit but she couldn't, she finally gave up. My cousin Avery used to race a Jr. dragster but now that he has his license he races a Chevy El camino. If i raced right now i would just be driving my little Honda civic, but honestly i don't care. In bracket racing no matter what car you have, everyone has a chance. I cant wait for the first time i get to go down that track, I know it will be one of the most amazing experiences of my lifetime.
