Its sorta cool as a lot of the pro cars are still the cars you see at the drags even to this day Mopars, Camaros, Mustangs and yes even Mavericks. Funny cars and rails have progressed along ways though, thank god I know I would not want one of those nitro breathing motors in front of me in a rail. 2 more months till our track opens, winter break is just too long
