I am starting to hit up Sebring atleast once a month. Always working towards a higher license/class.
There are tons of people who track near-stock Miatas -- in fact, there's a pretty strong argument that a Miata is the absolute best $/fun ratio you can get at a track.
well he can't people from voting but he did say no drags
Don't know if you're serious here but this is BS! I find drag racing uninteresting and my Caterham probably is less boring than the majority of cars on the drag strip.I truly believe that anyone that finds drag racing uninteresting in their own car, has a very boring car. :lol:

How many of those who posted here they go drag racing have a purposely built dragster in the garage? My guess is: very few. So why shouldn't I compare the "bore factor" of my car to yours?Caterham's arent made for the strip. they r made for road racing and thats all. so its kinda pointless to compare something that is made for road racing against cars that r made for the drag strip.
I don't look down on drag racing, its just not my thing.What I'm trying to say is that a lot of people look down at drag racing, but it's a bunch of fun. If you don't try it at least once, you are missing out.
I'll add that if you don't think it would be fun, you need to try it one of these (turn down the volume, it's very loud):

I would watch a nitromethane fueled monster like those in your clip if it is not too far away. But taking my own car there and competing against Joe Boyracer? No, even if the Caterham - with 0-60 in 4.8s - wouldn't do too badly against him (and destroying him completely on a road circuit).
No, I've never been to drag racing. But I would take a road circuit over the drag strip any day. Yes, I like slow corners more than long straights which probably has to do with the fact I have an unrestricted Autobahn only a few miles away.I gotta ask, have you ever taken the Caterham to a dragstrip? If not, you'd be surprised that you might actually like it. You quoted a 0-60 time for your car, now if I'm not mistaken, that's in a straight line. Also, at a road course what's more fun, the slow technical corner or that long straight where you really get to wring it out and you get the big speed?
Ok, please tell me then what is so tempting about drag racing?then take ur car to a dragstrip and then tell us that its uninteresting. u dont have n e word in saying that drag racing is uninteresting until u actually do it urself.
Whenever I start in a club race this is some sort of drag racing to the first corner - with the difference that I have to choose the right line in the pack of cars, I have to get the braking point right and I have to get the corner itself right. Having only the acceleration part as the whole fun of the weekend doesn't seem very attractive to me.you keep saying its uninteresting, but u've never done it. so what input do you have into saying its uninteresting if you have never done it before?
