Juicee - I didn't see anyone denigrating the sport (granted I didn't go back and re-read every post). It just sounded like an apples to oranges discussion to me. I prefer road racing these days, but I grew up on NHRA. I spent many weekends as a kid being dragged from strip to strip as my dad wrenched for his cousin. He still calls to let me know when the Gatornationals are on.
I think you are correct it is an apples to oranges comparison and this is likely why I got riled up. Modding the car for the dragstrip whether it is a Chey or AMG is a far cry from modding it for a road course.
Seeing a Benz in either venue is exciting and likely a real challenge.
Apologies to Paul if he was not bashing drag racing, I may have jumped too quickly

Sorry I get a bit emotional , I likely interpreted something Paul wrote as a slam on drag racing.

I agree with you 100% on the black series being a competitor for the GT3.
In fact it may be easier to drive fast than the GT3.
I wasnt slamming the Strip. I would just like to see any road course
track support too. Also in addition to.
I try not to bash either. Just add to the dialogue in a contributing way
I try not to waste bandwidth.

I agree there should be more Mercedes owners running on road courses.
If you would like to modify your C , Evosport does race BMW's and has exstensive experience in building track cars from the ground up.

Thanks
I saw that they race. One of my Porsche buddies told me about
Brad Otoupalik of Evo.
My friend is had extensive knowledge about tuning Porsches
so Brads Recommendation comes very strong.
