Why don’t we have a Big FD Drag Racing Community like other Car Forums?

You take a look at the Supra, Dsm, Evo, Civic and even Neon forums and those guys have a big drag racing community.
Why can’t we have this? I see plenty of people talking about drag racing but nothing serious.
A separate drag racing sub-forum would be awesome.

4. The drift guys share your same passion and enthusiam for their sport as you do for yours

You might be surprised at what goes into that sport besides flashy paint jobs and non-matching rims on the same car...

I still see no legitment reason to not have a drag racing forum. The only people bitching are the Road Racing Guys who hate the fact that we're drag racing RX7's.

but hey i agree with lupe....drag racign section would be great. it would help to eliminate some of the clutter around the 3rd gen section on wheel hop or what times can i run with these mods...etc. But lets be honest lup..noone is making 600rwhp with "ease", man.

2 WTF does that have to do with adding a new section or any other section here?
I'm not upset, I just think you make no point whatsoever other than YOU want a drag race section and you perceive that as some sort of slight or threat.

I don't see anything you've presented that says we need a drag section other than you want one. There's no history here to support your claim that 1) there are (or will be) lots of drag race posts or 2) that you can't get a drag section because everyone hates drag racers. Everyone hates the piston guys and yet they have a section, so where's that leave your evil conspiracy theory?

So there's the problem! YOU are worried and YOU have something against the other racers in the section!

I still see no legitimate reason TO have a drag section. Everyone bitches about something everyday and we have to seperate bitching from fact. Here's the facts: The drag guys aren't posting much. If all of the drag guys start posting and the race section is overwhelmed with drag race traffic I think you'd have a valid point. Fact is there is not much posting about it and therefore your case holds no water IMO. You refuse to believe that however and are trying to play the martyr claiming it's only because others (especially the evil road racers) don't like drag racers

Open your eyes, it's not just me. 98% of the people in this thread have been for the idea of adding a drag race sub-forum. Doesn't that say something?

But it's cool
If this happens, I can get Bret Kepner from ESPN to post some great drag racing information. Surprisingly, he likes rotaries
Make it happen
Thanks a bunch!

Im not a hug drag fan, but I do like to take my FD out to the strip occasionally, and IMO it would be nice to have a forum devoted for people to ask drag-specific questions. I think it would be advantageous to have a devoted forum for things such as this than to have to search for questions that may be spread out between 3-4 other subforums. What wheels/tires, suspension, body mods, etc.
