That's a pretty reasonable goal to have.
I'm all about building my car. The vision is flexible, though, and I tend to adopt new things I see all the time. I just got off the phone with a very good friend from University. He's a race bike driver, pretty serious but doesn't compete, and he gets my sentiments without necessarily sharing them. I told him I have the goal to some day at least try going down the strip. He said eh wouldn't because "it could be dangerous". LOL What are you talking about?! Riding 200 hp motorcycles in traffic early in the season isn't a lot more dangerous?
Anyway. I do have the goal to try it on the strip but the main objective is to get a car that can seriously smoke tires and looks at least somewhat badass.
