Recommended dragster
The Toyota Supra with all Level 4 performance parts can do the quarter mile in under 7 seconds if tuned properly. -From: Barry Woods
A really good dragster is the Dodge Challenger R/T. The car runs 7.6 seconds in the quarter mile fully upgraded. If you make the rear shocks stiff, the car will stand on the rear end all the way down the track, and will do over 1,000 foot wheelies. If you make the rear shocks soft, you can run 7.6 seconds in the quarter mile and not have to worry about the front end lifting up. Some tuning will be needed, and knowledge of cars will definitely help.
A good dragster is the Nissan 240SX. The first chance you get, choose the 240SX. Put on all the best performance parts you can afford. Remember, you need a lot of speed and traction. After you begin setting new track records, you will be invited to race Karol Monroe the Drag King.

- Preventing points deducted for damage
Normally points get deducted for wrecking your vehicle when you participate in any career race. However, if you race in any one race and wreck your car, do not repair it. Any other race that you race with that car will no longer take points off for damage. By doing this, you can get the full 500 points toward dominating an event. Notice: This only works while in the same car previously damaged during an earlier event.
