Those guys are not pussies.
When I was in Jamaica, I ran into a young bus driver who apparently was also an auto tech and a drag racer in his free time. The way he made it sound, they have very few actual "drag strips" in the Caribbean, and they are less accessible to the general public than what we have in the States. Of course, high performance vehicles are much more rare, too (No new car dealerships in Jamaica, all they drive is 4-5+ year old used Japanese stuff), so they make do with engine swaps from larger vehicles into sub-compacts for racing. Seeing something like a full on Mustang like that would be very rare, as American cars would have to be imported by the wealthy.
He went on to tell me that in Jamaica, when the cops catch you street racing, all you have to do is stop and the cops will leave you alone. He also said, "In Jamaica, we drink and ride, and smoke and fly."

LOL I agree
Actually, light spirited driving, thats what we call it today right?..is fun. :Track:
Thank you NHRA/NMRA for safe tracks and regulations
If THIS were the only track, i'd be a street racer.
Agreed. Don't run across any sudden stops corners on a 3 lane stretch of highway.
