1320X - Grassroots Drag Racing

Recently a few people, (including racers) have asked, what does 1320X mean. Of course it is simply that there are one thousand three hundred and twenty feet in a quarter mile and the X is for the X-Factor, that special hard to define quality that is in every true racer who wants to bring his car out and win. It could also mean Xtreme racing as in Outlaw 10.5 or Drag Radial or anyone who is willing to push it to the limit. 1320X is also about having a good time with friends who also love racing and enjoying the passion of this great sport.

What does it mean to you?

for me it means love for cars, racing and custom car parts... I may be a model for some car shows but I do appreciate the sport, its fast cars and also its showcase of its parts (i.e. absorbers, brakes, corner lights, etc) in some car shows... For me it's passion for cars as a whole and the feeling of adrenaline rush everytime during the race. :)

For us select guys (and gals) no matter what life seems to throw at ya', after the smoke clears and through the rubble and ashes it almost always seems an inevitability. We return to SPEED!
It's in our DNA. Thank goodness!
Most of us have (in some way) tried to expel ourselves of it, telling ourselves we're insane spending this kind of money to do this or do that. We've sold this part to buy that part ,some REPEATEDLY! Worked overtime (and then some!) to get the cake to go a tenth faster....
How many times have we been so aggravated knowing we know what we need to do and yet not quite been capable of getting that wrench turned quite enough? Though also knowing there's always next week if it doesn't happen this one.
What's important is, life is as fast as our perspective rides, can live without them? Yes! Should we ? HELL NO!
Why?
Simple, it isn't so much the ride, it's the friends it brings along the way. Now those are what makes life worth living. That to me is the X factor, the people it brings together, the comradery and togetherness it brings with likeminded individuals.
The dollar bets in the stands. The BBQs in the pits making your mouth water.
Hell sometimes it's the extended trip TO the track that's the most memorable part of the weekend....
While I personally have been blessed with lifelong friends who all appreciate cars and speed, I too know just what a rare thing that is and it makes me appreciate them that much more as well as understand just how invaluable sites such as this are!
To try to quantify the "X" factor is more or less a personal thing I would guess you ask a hundred people you'll get seventy five differing answers.
And not one would be wrong.
Thanks for the site, it's LOOOOOOONG overdue!

Come on, people! Am I the only one cheesey enough to answer this question??
What does 1320x mean to me? Hmmmm..........
I've said it before but I'll say it again(you're kidding) 1302X means common ground....it means shared passion.....like minds.....an unspoken bond. It's a brotherhood (sisterhood).
It's a chance to cross borders and meet other like minds that we may otherwise never meet. A chance to form freindships, bust chops, or share personal triumphs.
Some of you may think that is a big...uh........magoo.......but thats what it means to me.
I spent about 45 minutes on the phone the other day with Vince from RedNeck racres group. You ALL know who I'm talking about!
Vince took the time to pick up the phone just to say hey. He and I had been messaging back and forth and just generally BS'ing.
On the phone we talked about everything from our cars (obviousy) to our work, families.......man we covered it all!
I consider Vince a friend. That's easy to do when we already have so much in common. I'm looking forward to meeting Vince and checking out the Camo Camaro in person at MIR.
What does 1320X mean to me? It's all about cars and the people who drive them.
Here's to making making friends
