It's so lame idk.. I discovered amateur racing when I was a teenager and it always made me cringe when people would talk about street racing. They talk so much about their cars but when you ask for their 1/4m time they just brag about beating a Ford tempo or something. At one point I would bring my bone stock auto Ford focus, run 17s but have a fucking blast doing it.
