Um... being a girl, I love to drive fast & look forward to summer when they open up the race track - I've taken her down the track a few times - quite the rush

On the street - NEVER

Default let me explain

I had to mark "I only raced on the streets". That is because I race Open Road Racing. This is high speed time/distance rally on CLOSED ROADS.

Interesting poll. What we're seeing here is that there's almost a 50/50 split between people who've never raced at all and people who've raced a great deal at the track with a smaller group of people who've street raced or rarely track raced.

That would explain why a large contingent of us go for painted engine compartments, chrome wheels and custom bodywork and a second large contingent goes for light wheels, roll bars and four-point seat belts.

We seem to all appreciate our Corvettes but for completely different reasons.

I can't believe that many of you would abuse your cars that way, I would never think of racing mine
