My wife decided she'll no longer be a passenger in my car. She's gets scared whenever I get into the throttle a little bit. Can't imagine what she'd think if I did a launch with her in it with the slicks on.

Hey Larry I think I remember seeing you there on one of the bigger nights. You had the notch and I think you were with tom and he had that shebly clone with the 03 cobra motor in it. That night was the best I seen it but it turned bad about a month later so I didnt go to it after that
