Default Drag racing, whats the big deal

Who really gives a ****?????? It's fun for about 3 min then it gets old and boring. I have beat people and people have beat me. What does it really say about anything?? It takes ALMOST no skill to do and can be learned very quickly, and if you got a lot of money you can be the fastest around. So what if you have a bunch of money, that dont say **** about your skill as a rider.

what does drag racing prove if you do all your own work?

1) do you really know how to put your bike together?

2) do you know how to tune you bike right?

3) do you know how to match up performance mods to work together?

thats about it, all of which can be learned with enough pratice. So it still doesnt mean much other than you have more time into it than someone else. Anyone can get good at doing all that is required to drag race given enough time and money.

I just find it funny how much trash talking and feelings get hurt over drag racing when it dont mean ****!! And for those who will say sounds like someones been getting spanked, your wrong, but who cares anyway if I was, I dont. If you want to drag race me thats fine I will take on anybody, but my "drag race" track is 75 miles long and takes about an hour and half to get to the other end so be ready to ride a little more than 5 sec!!!!

i agree warwgn i could never afford a dragster.
I like riding quads because i like to go everywhere.
But alot of people have there own opinion.
Some people enjoy working on there quads, and racing them for 1 second.
Let them do it?

my point is why all the crying and and drama, if you get beat so what. Every time I have beat some one they always make up an excuse, or cry about it and get their feelings hurt. And I see it all the time on here and other forums all the time. If you get beat so what, who cares why cry about it and make up excuses????

You are very confused about it taking very little skill. The correct amount of traction and wheel spin and if your on a high powered machine it can really be a hand full. Come watch some of these guys launch its unreal. Come to Clash of the Titans or Planet Sand drags and see just how much skill some of these riders have. Its not for everyone and I understand if you prefer another type of racing but it sounds like you would probably be one of those whinners or excuse makers anyway. Stick to the woods

Actually I dont ride the woods, it's all desert. I am not knocking what your doing just all the crying and whinning that goes with it. If thats what your into go for it and have fun, but when you get beat dont cry about it like a baby, and all the stupid can this beat this threads, just go race the dang thing and find out. If you look around you will see no crying and whinning from any other form of racing but drag racing!! Why??
