Nothing wrong with 66...There's just way too many people there. Last time I was there was with a ProStock, so our lane was a little shorter than the other lanes.

Badass pic I got:
http://finalroundperformance.com/images/prostock5.JPG
Only went 8.01 that pass...It would set the front tires down 100' out and bog. The last time it was out it went 7.55 spinning badly, but charging like crazy on the top end. Then it broke.

I never said there was anything wrong with them. We just keep them off of our road since they do not need as good of a road as ours. 13 second cars can hook on any road, so why **** up ours? We've had 8 and 9 second cars hook up on our road.

Did you see his old house? I guess sheriff pays a little better than state representative.

The first few weeks he was elected there was an undercover vehicle sitting out there 24/7 watching the house.
