Racing

Well. My opinion. This beauties was made for racing. So I gonna act that way too. The official racing possibilities are quite limited in Hungary. There are one track near to Budapest called Hungaroring which is the track used by the F1 cars as well. In the last couple of years there were some organized racing 7-8 times a year on Tuesday nights. There is an other track ~130km from Budapest called Rabaring where used to be some 1/8th mile races. I've never been there before but might visit them this year. Their home page is here.
*
These are the events where I plan to attend this year. The track is 1/8th mile (201m) in the home stretch of the F1 track. Compared to a track in the US it was a joke, no official starting tree just a red and green light, no real technical inspection, no burnout boxes, no 60ft times etc. First in 2002 finnaly they started to use christmas trees and at Rabaring you can run a full 1/4th mile and will get a full time slip with all the details. Still no time slips, no 60ft and no trap speeds at HR. Anyway it's pretty popular, there are always a bunch of people driving every possible car you can imagine.
*
There are four categories for cars (actually there is a fifth, but I'm not sure who supposed to run in it) based on displacement. If you are no normally aspirated, or using any kind of power adders, you are automatically go one category higher. Above 2500cc (~152ci) you are in category four, so it doesn't bother me much. On the other hand all of the 2l turbos are in the same category as well including Lancer Evos, WRXs etc. Never mind...
*
Of course there is always an other way to racing. On the streets. I always lived in this city and driving in it more than I wanted, but I don't really know how many people driving around Friday nights just for racing. Make no mistake, I'll figure this out soon enough. Gonna post here any race stories.
*
Below you can find a table which you can use to estimate your 1/4th mile ET from your 1/8th ET. Pls keep in mind that the Sy is on the right end, I mean you will usualy get the worse 1/4th ET for you 1/8th.
