Guys, correct me if I am wrong here but isn't rule of thumb that a 10 HP gain roughly translates to a tenth off of 1/4 mile times?

Kinda like a loss of 100 lbs. equates to the same thing?

The drag strip is like sniffing glue, it's cheap, it's a decent buzz, it doesn't last long and they are all the same.
Road racing is like China White Heroin, the buzz is stronger, the high lasts for hours, it's extremely addictive and they are all different.
I can't wait for my next Track fix. DA HAWKS OWN DA CUP!!!!!
