The white WS6 without the Orange stripe is Scotts. It has a G5X3 in it. The White WS6 with the orange pin stripe is another kids that just has bolt ons. Elmer has the NHRA formula that will only be on the back of a trailor if you see it Chris has a silver 2002 z28, Brett has the black 2000 that has the cam with a cowl hood, andrew has the red z28 with the black z06 wheels, and thats about all I have off the top of my head. I'm just the ******* that rides around on the R1

And, another guy I just met has a black 99 SS, another friend has a lime green/black mustang. So if you see him crusing around... dont race him. his **** is about ready to pop. I wouldnt want to be crusing next to him when it does He blew the intake piece off of it the other day due to too much boost. But we cruise all the time.
