1. Huh?
2. Huh?
3. You have to be racing way too fast for the street for the wind drag from the windows being open to make jack ****zle difference. Racing someone of a light the windows wont make a **** of difference.

Personally, I'd rather have the windows open so I can hear the cars better (assuming you are racing a car that doesnt sound like a lawnmower - e.g. Scion).

I read his original post quickly and thought he was actually at the track. Now I see he was on the street. So you are right!

rules? ahah..hahhh... i've raced with my top down at the local 1/4 many times. i love their slackyness. heh.

safety? wouldnt it be safer with the window (read: giant sheet of glass) stuck down in the door rather than 6" from your head?

Well a good track would never let you run with a window down, let alone a top down. Its against NHRA rules.

My tranny took a beating for about 20k miles, befor it went kaput..so autos arent as tough as a 5spd...but then again, i guess it all depends on how much you get on her....if you're constantly racing, no tranny will last you long, no matter how tough u build it...

Neutral drops are bad, but from only 900 rpms you'll be fine. One time I put in neutral to rev while driving, and instead of putting it back into D I slipped it into REVERSE!!!!! I freaked out, I'm very lucky. Talk about a mistake!

that sucks, I accidently dropped my car into drive after a rev. Except it was a lot higher then 900rpms, more like 1000-2000, did a pretty nice burn out but I didnt mean to do it or have done it since. When I race I rev up to 1500 (any higher and my wheels start spinning) then on green I floor it, thanks to my new DR's. Soon Ill have a 3000 stall converter and ill be able to rev a lot higer

It sounded like the Titanic sinking! Luckily it was only for a second, When I realized what I did (before I even took my hand off the shifter) I threw it back into Drive.
