I would love to see a drag event. My slightly modified TR3 would do well.
But, I think Randall is right about the costs. I'm sure the insurance cost
alone would be astronomical. And drag racing really is hard on cars. Anyone
else willing to flog their cars into submission?

| Was thinking about this just yesterday ... if a major event offered Triumph
| drag racing, how many people would enter their precious cars ?
|
| We'd have to have classes for stock vs modified cars, probably still be
lots
| of inequities and the event would be strictly for fun of course. But, it
| would be a chance for those with modified cars to show off the advantages
of
| their modification.
|
| The topic was discussed at least once, but as I recall, the consensus was
| that not enough people would be interested, to make it worth the rather
| extreme amount of hassle. It's tough enough to get permission to run an
| autocross, and "drag racing" raises unpleasant images in a lot of people's
| minds ... this year we're offering dynamometer runs instead.
|
| But there's always next year ...
