Thanks...and remember the swaybar is off as well. Not sure if he went that far. I added a sway bar to the back instead...that's what makes it stand up !! Good god, what would you guys do without my advice ???

Awesome picture...did anybody die in that wreck? Bumper torn off, sway bars, tires,headlights!!! Geesh it does look like your 3-4inches from yanking a wheel there too. Real nice!!!!!!!! That kurtotragic guy is never going to see a launch like that unless a mack truck rear ends him at the stop light doing 80.

Yeah would be cool for someone in Florida to be racing since the rest of us can't Would be cool to hear a black vette went to PBR and gaver hell tomorrow nite.

Bruce,
You're right about that other section. That's why I still hang with my homies.
Also, after I give Kurt a ride I'll give you one too for being so nice.

Pitt,
Launch looks awesome. I say one more fat chick in the back would pull the wheels for sure.
GOOD LUCK ON YOUR NEXT OUTING.

Well if you don't hear from me, I'm probably out looking for a private dirt road, so I can pull over and shoot my tranny without hurting anyone...

I'm gonna just do some roll out sixty foot times as I tune this thing. No sense beating it to death to just bounce of the limiter during the run.

I need a Pit-crew !!!
