Drag Races

One of the most intense adrenaline rushes is drag racing, and on Saturday night, that’s what I did. My boyfriend and I took his 2001 Monte Carlo to the La Crosse Fairground Speedway, and raced it. There was some really good competition racing that night, especially the 1970’s ere Chevelles. There was everything from hotrods, to trucks, to miniature motor bikes. For the first half hour all the cars raced just for practice and fun. This was a good chance to see what his Monte Carlo could do. After the practice rounds, they split the cars up into different groups to race them. The first car that we went up against was a Ford Taurus SHO. We ended up beating him, but shortly after that, unfortunately, he beat us. Our second and last loss was a newer model Firebird. However, we were victorious over a few races. One of them being a trans am in very good condition. That one shocked us a bit! Although we didn’t come out on top, we did have a lot of fun! Isn’t that what it’s all about?

I love going to the drags! My boyfriend got a new Mazda a couple months ago and he wants to race it but he's waiting until he adds a bunch of stuff to it. Glad you had fun!

That sounds like a lot of fun. I would love to do that. I've been to the races there a couple times, and it's always a good time.

Yea the LAX Street Drags are awesome, I try to go to everyone of them that I can. I took my 95' Jaguar last Friday night but I went 0-2 since my clutch kept slipping. But it doesn't matter I still had fun. The last street drags is tommorrow night, and I'll be there, itll be a blast.
