My chances are slim to none now that Bluewasp isn't going and won't be 'peeling tires' (official lingo) leaving rest areas.

Ahh, but I will still be going. Bet that Lingenfelter engine can "peel the tires" . . . wait a second, that's what I was charged with last year!

Luckily, I was second in line in the picture above and you really can't see my car, but the park police sure did!!! I've still got their bogus warning ticket at home.

I was behind you and can't see my car at all in that picture. I still have the warning on my desk at home too. Need to file it in my cabinet under 'useless documents'.

But isn't it nice to have a "useless warning" instead of a real costly ticket?

It's just their way of letting us know they are watching. As long as they don't lurk at the view just past the tunnel!

I have QTP Exhaust cutouts now, so its a 'little' louder than it was last year, but not nearly as loud as the GS.
