very good run. they were going to go again, but then my friends lightning ran, blew the engine and leaked fluids all over the road. then some smart person there decided to yell, "cops!!" so everyone left.

none the less, good runs.

and i decided to post it here, because this is where all the threads first appeared.

enjoy!

Great video...after all the BS, months of rain, etc, lol, we finally get some runs.

Nice rides guys, glad to see meltdown wasn't just trolling us, but really had a fast car. Good ****. Trailer though? C'mon now, most of us really use these cars every day...makes some of those post a little unreasonable in retrospect.

the trailers are understandable since they did come from about 50 miles away, but it was a very intense run!

Meltdown is a cool guy. He's a man of his word. He was a good sport and gave a hell of a run to johnathan. Hell of a run and I hope everyone enjoys the vid me and roger took of that nights runs.

All of us were very patient up to the pint of reading a whole page of nothing (regarding "The Big Show" thread). Another page or more would have been written had no one stepped in.

Nice kill. Both cars are fast.
