ttboost - I totally agree with you. I'm not into street racing but agree there is a lot of technique to it.
I'm kind of an older fart compared to the rest here (as far as I can tell)!
And to Divexxtreme, the "real track" comment was intentional and had the desired effect
It was a joke, I know how pissed off drag racers get when people start calling road coarse stuff "real tracks". Just trying to add a little humor to the conversation.
