I've raced my old totally stock 83 Chevy 1/2 ton before (doesn't really count) But near by here we have a Malibu Speed Zone. It has 3 or 4 tracks of different sized cars, a slick track, you know , family fun zone racing style.
Anyway, they have a drag track. SBC powered short dragsters on a track (no steering). You just hit the gas, push a button to shift the Powerglide and then it stops itself. Once, as I was taking off, I was pissed because I thought I red lighted. At the end I found out I had a .001 on the reaction time.

I wasn't so pissed after all.
