Drag racing...where to start

In all racing theres an easy equasion Speed + Dollars = ET the faster the ET the more dollars it cost and the less fun it is . I bought a tube chassis super comp Mopar a few years ago and got my NHRA comp license , it was by far the coolest racecar i have ever owned . after two seasons of racing and spending 2 to 300.00 dollars to go out for a day of racing i decided my awsome car was no so awsome , trust me is cool as hell to run in the 8 s , but not worth the fun factor you give up. Im building another 11 second a body with a 4 speed and get back a fun day at the races .
