A GI coming to germany and bringing his car over, to race it on some track............
Well, that´s how Drag Racing got started here about 40 years ago !
So "Welcome here in the virtual pits",
and I hope you find a "home away from home", even if it´s only 1320 ft. long sometimes.............
What kind of mods did you do to your pony-car,
and what times has it run on (which) US track ?
We have about the same sportsman classes here,
and race -95%- on NHRA rules.
There are various ET classes and Super classes running,
and there is a heads-up race series for street legal cars, "Street Eliminator"
I am the german track announcer, and live in Frankfurt.
You are quite lucky to get stationed in the Rhein-Main area,
because not only there is one dragstrip (Bitburg) within reach,
but also because there is a german/american Drag Race Club still in existence,
the "Hanau Auto Racing Association".
They don´t have a clubhouse, or a "local track",
but there is an "open house meeting" once a month near Hanau,
which is about 50 miles from Wiesbaden.
The "Pro Classes" like Top Fuel, Top Methanol and Pro Mod only have ONE race a year in germany,
called "NitrOlympX" , in Hockenheim, only 70 miles from Wiesbaden.
In this forum there is a chat giong on , each sunday evening from 8pm,
look for the "new chat" button on top left side of the portal page.

with the races from May to September.
