About LinkBacksI have been around cars all my life but until 3 years ago, I had never been to a drag strip. While I knew people who had run out there, I did not know just how open to the public it was. From looking for an actual starting line to leaving on too much adrenaline, there are as many things that can make a newbie feel like a newbie. I put this video together to help out those who have never gone drag racing.

That track looked awfully familiar, that wouldn't happen to be at Gateway International, would it?

That was awesome! LOVED the ending too! LOL
The Magnum has a soul. It has a personality, something all too lacking in the automotive transportation appliances everybody else is offering.

You did forget one thing in the video grinner, when to stop. There was a first time drag racer last week that didn't know when he was supposed to let off and he went into the sand pit at the end of the track

man, if they can't figure out that big red light, they in some troiuble.
but tI did here about that mustang at last friday's midnight madness that kept going until he hit the other side.
Your right. If instructing how to go, I should have told em to stop too.
People seem to be diggin this video. Streetfire put it on their front page last night, a couple of tracks have called asking if I do these vodeos for the general public or of gateway raceway has me on retainer, and this morning I scooped up another sponsorship as a result of this videos "laid backness".
Things are falling into place for Moddin' Art now.
This is the year...
