Your local drag strip had a TRUE dedicated STREET night,or day, for stock tire,non trailered cars only? No water allowed in the burn out box. This would keep the big slick race cars out for sure!
Most of us would like to get some good runs,for our buck,without having to have money tied up in track only tires,Line-Loc setups,and having to deal with running against unmuffled 10 sec. and faster race cars,which can be dangerous when they have trouble.
We pretty much have that at New England Dragway (see below). We still see cars running from 10 to 20 seconds though, and everything in between.
