We all know this drag racing is an addiction. There is a rehab for all addictions except this one. I have never heard of drag racer rehab.
It helps to remind ourselves occasionally that this is, after all, only a hobby.

The addiction to drag racing is better for you than drinking or drugs though! Costs the same money, but keeps you healthy.....and if you get lucky you can get your money back

I like racing, but I like to do other things as well, but also, I choose seat time rather than speed. I'm happier the more laps I can make, rather than making each lap faster.

I am on other side. I love tuning. I love challange of making a almost perfect run better.
Spent last weekend working my butt off on the A/fuel car. Get home and start designing parts to speed up mu clutch changing routine and give more time to work on tune-up with Lil brother. Studying runs we made and what made what work or in this weekend's case what caused the issue.
For me driving is just a way to prove tuning ideas worked out. Even when I had my TA/D I was same way.
Everybody who has been around me when racing wants to know why the heck I would even consider building a car to bracket race. Reason being leaving car alone is my weakest thing. I have to be working on it in some way.

History has shown.....A crackhead will do anything for a fix - money, including taking credit for winning a race they were put back in, after losing in the semifinal, by track officials using a fantasy impossible story they can't repeat, because of video.
