Default New section in the Racing forums

It's getting pretty rediculous hunting for information in some of the tech/talk sections when you have to read 15 or 20 posts about "will my car beat their's?", things like that....any chance we could get a comparison thread or something in the racing section for posts like that? Much love for AFM!

Maybe just have a single thread for it? Someone posts the two cars, a few people reply and give their opinions, later someone else puts theirs and someone elses car and gets a few opinions.

I agree with you - that get's old very fast! I am sick of reading "Will my GT beat...." - Gah!!!!

Keith - I think he was suggesting a new area in the race forums.

No thats not what the drag racing forum is for....

90% of the "do think my car will beat" post have nothing to do with true drag racing ......

if you want to start a sub section like that put it in the kill story section where all the other non racers can get in on it....The drag race section is for real racers or those who want to learn about the sport of drag racing

Not some hypothetical pipe dream......

I understand what you're saying, about having an area just for threads like that. The drag racing section isn't what that's for though. That's for those with questions about tire compounds, air pressures, launch rpms, and so on.

I don't see making a whole new subsection just for threads about will this beat that. We'll see what the best way to corral these will be because they do litter the talk sections.

Why not place them in the kill area like Reggie mentioned? IMO, we need another subsection like we need holes in the head.
