Hi. Here is one of my friends he is racing in his very beautiful 1966 yellow Plymouth valiant. This video was filmed by myself at Norwalk Raceway Park in Ohio on September 17th 2011. His name is Ray Costello. He used to have his own business called cap auto products. He was building his own tubular k frames and upper control arm and ball joints, then he sold his business to QA1 shocks.
When you go drag racing a lot like I do you have the pleasure of meeting some new people witch become your friends. Since I have been going drag racing mostly in the states I have met some people from Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and some from Illinois.
My dad has been drag racing since he was 16 years old and he started at something like 18.5 secondes now he spent enough money to go 7 secondes quicker so 11.5 secondes to do a quater mile, so 1320 feet.
My dad has one first place a couple of times but it does not happen that often that you win. Also it is very hard to win at a event then the next event you go and win that event, but it is possible. Another one of my friends won grand bend windsor weekend one year then for the next two years won it again so three years in a row.
In my opinion drag racing is very challenging because you have to be alert at the begining for your reaction time, you want to take off when the light turn green from yellow not late because that just give your opponent a hole shot win because A) you took off too late or B) you red light.
