What happened to drag racing?

I think that maybe some people now are realizing that it does not take much skill to keep a car in a straight line and win. But what does take much skill it drifting a corner or touge in the mountains.

I would have to disagee with you people on the skill. Well lets just this is only my opinion. I mean, yea you do need some little skills for drag racing, basically just reaction time and shifting. Unless you have a 10 second car then you need to learn how to keep it straight, but thats not the point.

I think drag racing is pure fun, i dont do it because im skillful at it, i do it because its exciting and fun and you get to win trophies and money and you get to spank hondas

Dont get me wrong, drifting is more exicting and takes alot more skill and def is much more fun, but drag racing is drag racing.

i dont kno why ppl trash on Super Street... sure it has some rice... but they also feature super cars straight from J land and made signal famous in the states... and drifting.. and all that other stuff we love so dearly... Just look at some past cover cars.. Tuners such as Top Secret, Signal, JUN, Top Fuel, Yashio Factory, HKS, and it goes on....

they are the #1 import mag to me

Plus dont forget, there are still more ric boys with hondas then there are drifter with phat cars

So they have to satisfy everyone.

Just a few years ago, it was all about drag. Now everybody is hopping on the bandwagon saying it doesn't require skill. I hate to tell you, but racing is about dragging. Whether that's between corners or just one straight. Taking a line is not that *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored*ing hard. Smooth inputs is not that *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored*ing hard. Try dialing in a time and getting within .02 seconds of it. That's *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored*ing skill. Obviously, people that say that have never been to a track.
