Dragster vs door car
How about an observation from an EXTREME Newbie?
I get the thrill of the door car. The different looks etc.
I get the dragster is cheaper to run, yet they all look alike etc.
The answer is "to each his own".
You are all very fortunate to have been doing this for some time and have accumulated great knowledge and opinion. I enjoy that and repect it.
Here's my story.
At age 43, knowing NOTHING about engines, trans, door cars or dragsters I decided to jump over the fence from the stands and into the cockpit. Wife bought me Hawley School super comp classes. I went in July at Indy. Graduated, got licensed and less than a month later bought a T/K Dragster here on RJ.
The reason I'm chiming in is this. I "prefer" my Dragster only because it's MINE. My first car. My only experience.
I'm soooo freakin' happy right now I can hardly walk past it in the garage without staring at it for few minutes. I suppose it might be different had I driven, got licensed and bought a door car. But for now I'm just happy to be in the game and loving "My Car".
Pipe Cleaner or Wild Azz shiftin ride with doors, it's your ride. Love it....
Best to all.
