I liked that show, . .but after 4 cars, . . it starts to get boring. Sure it was an 04? Maybe it was a '01.

95% of cars that people take the to the track run much slower than in magazines if they don't know how to shift/launch/etc

Didn't see the episode with the Ciobra, but I like the show. For some reason, Im much better at guessing in real life, this show just has some odd runs.. I was on fire this past Sunday at Great Lakes Drag.

Damn it said it was supposed to be on at 10:00 for me but pinks came on instead. The show is sweet but kinda messed up because like stated above the people could be horrible drivers and mess up the times and let a person that is just throwing a number out there win, not some1 who should have won with the right driver. Thats racing though i guess...
