“Drag racing is supposed to be fun. Being that drag racing is such a difficult sport to be successful, the element of fun sometimes gets lost. Even on the worst days, having the right attitude and mindset will help you find the joy in racing and often lead to the winners circle.
“In this quick video, Tim outlines why having the right attitude is vital to the success of your racing program along with common pitfalls and how to mitigate them.”
Driver of our '57 Chev from 1972-2019, Vietnam veteran (A Troop, 3/17th Air Cavalry Scout helicopter Line Chief and later Cobra Periodic Inspection team leader), retired ASE rated automotive mechanic. Roger became involved in drag racing during his high school days and after his stint in the Army ran E & F/MP [Modified Production] here in Division 6 before switching to bracket racing when the '57 became obsolete for class racing. He often raced at Puyallup, Kent-Pacific Raceways, Bremerton, Portland & the original Mission, B.C. track.
I agree with Tim, if you don’t love the sport and enjoy being at the track and working on your car, drag racing is probably NOT the hobby for you!
