Last Friday was my 55th birthday and my lovely wife of 27 years surprised me with a gift of drag racing school at Frank Hawley's. She purchased the package where I can select Super Comp or Super Gas (two day course).
Has anyone ever gone to the school and taken either of these courses? I am torn deciding which one to choose. Normally I am a door slammer kind of guy but, don't want to turn down an opportunity to run a Super Comp car if that is the better choice.

I will be taking the class at Maple Grove since it is closest to me; class is in August (I know it's going to be hot).

I can't wait; this has been a dream of mine for the better part of my life. I have the greatest wife ever!

Congrats on the birthday and the cool gift! Tough decision, but I'd say try the digger. Super Comp has a full second faster index and might be your only chance to drive a rail. Come out to The 422 Allstars Nostalgia Super Stock Series and I'll take you for a short jaunt in a door-car!
And.....you CAN'T possibly have the best wife because I DO!!!!!
Happy Birthday!!!

A ride in a door car AND drive the rail; that's a win-win for me. I think I might have to go with the Super Comp car then; thanks for the advice.

Lucky man Dave. Think I like Super Gas more than I like Super Comp, but that's because I'm a door guy.

Whatever you choose...I'm sure it'll be fun.
