Thinking about drag racing with my '03 Dakota when it's time for a new motor. 392 Hemi transplants have been successfully done....

Ive never drag raced (: Theres a member here named Dub who drag races though (: I want to race quads again. but Im not sure if thatd be a good idea as a para (: So I've been looking into street stock and then also mud bogging (I LOVE mud trucks, and had to sell mine).

I always thought it'd be fun to race wheelchairs with gas engines, kinda like racing lawn tractors. AB's could even do it too, if you have to bail at 70mph, it won't matter if you can walk, lol....

I can't live with out speed, it's probly why I'm I'n this position now + a little bad luck ;)
I'm doing up my BMW 325 up with a supercharger and a ton of other bits, should be kicking out 370bhp soon eating m3's up :)! But a form of raceing I would know can be adapted is "go karting" also pretty affordable compared to most motorsport

A guy here in SA took a gas mo-ped and hooked it onto his chair. Bad as but under powered.

There's a list of kart tracks in the UK with hand controls on this web site - www.KartForce.org
