good luck everyone
even if they did stink up the place last event...
good luck everyone
& he's 110% correct, don't doubt him 1 iota
I'm sure you've seen some of my rants about it, being unsafe
& I said the same thing 'it's going to get someone killed'
hope they, NHRA hold off on any punishments, points deduction or fines
'of a drivers opinion, that is reality'
I'd bet he's not the only one that says that either...
Nice picks @ocdart
