When I had my sprint car I had that a lot, but it seems to be part of circle racing. Everybody comes to the pits after the race. First time somebody asked at a drag race I thought they were kidding. It's flattering, and a little embarasing. And, I always get some crap from my friends after the people walk away.

Yeah, nitrous, blower, turbo. Taner won Mod PA last year with a 9.87. The rest were around 9.8, 9.9, and 10.3. I think it's gonna be faster this year.
