So what number are you on the list?


How did you manage to keep your T-Tops on?....-

why would nurse betty be upset vette boy?
there's gonna be alotta extra food left over from the bbq, I'll send your wife and kids home with left overs for you.

It's all relative anyway, EVERYONE knows that for every kid you have you lose 1 second in the 1/4 mile. Ask Madman, it's TRUE!! I have "2" kids and have run 9.5xx, so I would be WELL into the 7's if I didn't have the kids.
Rick has NO kids and he's only running 8's so in MY mind, I've got him beat better than 1 second. He's slow for no kids and DOGS don't count, hahaha

Glad you guys were there. I watched every one of your passes. Soooo close. I hope I'm there to see your first 8 second pass also.
