My money is on the van. In fact, the only way you will beat him is if you are towed down the track with a Ford wrecker.

So this guy in the van reads that MiniVan bob ran his mini van to a record 21 second quarter mile with only drag radials.

So he's going around the trailer park bragging that he's got got a 21 second van.
Like we all know no way dude!
he's really a 34 second driver in a 21 second van.

He could take you but who cares? You know he'd rather be driving a vette!

I say switch to Mobil1, get an air foil to go with the tornado.
Put a cut lid in your car and put toulane in your gas. (isn't that a university in New Orleans?)

Does the mini van have a manual or auto?

Yeah, it was from overheating catalytic converters. But he said he ditched the cat.

I'm worried if he gets a jump on me and gets in front I won't be able to breathe. Do they make a cat big enough that I can install over my head to keep the pollution out?
