if the entire capacity of the race is trying to not fry a clutch and hold the steering wheel straight for 10 - 20 seconds then thats not really much compared to someone who concentrates about a line, and has to shift 40 times per lap for 80 laps on a road course and control 900 Hp in and out of turns, all while driving in a group of cars at 180 Mph.
Drag is for the weak and the simple among us. Want to prove something, learn to drive good.. cause in drag racing its all about money.. the more money you have the faster you go. In an road course, or shit even a Rally, someone whos invested 10,000$ has a chance of SPANKINg someone with a 90,000$ car if they can drive good enough. Hmm even an AutoX... a 5000$ car could walk all over a 200,000$ supercar if the driver is good enough.
see a theme here? The driver is the important part in the sports I admire, the car is just a tool for them. In Drag, the Driver is the tool, and the car just wants them to press a button, push a peddal, hold on, and hit the brake at the end. wow Skill.

Amen brother..
I've been in a few AutoX's in a porsche club here in nyc. The sound a 600hp porsche makes is just pure music
AutoX is mostly driver skill as I've had POS civic hatchbacks beat me time wise (I drive a '00 Impreza 2.5rs..shows you how much i stink as an Autox'er
). The degree of skill needed for drag racing is nowhere near that of AutoX (I've done both many times)...but again this is totally my opinion. Joe it sounds like you need a fix...my car is for sale
