Mr X2 no cross involved

I thing Hatch talking about the lack of hondas at all the drag events.

I do not thing there were more that 5 hondas at any one event in the past 2 years

You know in the walla days hondas were plentiful.

We all know you know about that all too well lol. There are still pics up in the car park from the eg4/5/6/ trio.

Honestly the power bracket has drastically shifted and well Camden track is not a fwd best friend. so most ppl dont really see the point!
Dex has a lot more appeal

Honestly I think that is a load of bull.

Camden is not any kind of limitation to most sub 13 second cars... which most fwd tuners are. Some racers are not going track racing because they are a bunch of fast talking, sand bagging nancies that fraid to lose dey respekk after seeing what the car actually runs when faced with a timing system and real 1/4 mile. Either way... Gone are the days that a 15 sec car is considered quick... but that doesn't mean those guys don't want to race !

As a drag racer... dex only has appeal to some... it's boring to others. If you like a throw down at a drag event... there is nothing like the reward of running for the day... even if you're slow. IMO, the problem is that every damn event must be a competition... the average street guy doesn't want to hit a track the first day as a competitor. More 'street' or test n tune events are needed to bring out the new blood... Get some of these talkers off the street and on a track so they can learn something.
