That's a guarantee almost anywhere... it's why I don't get wrapped up in a lot of pissing contests. My luck I would stall the car trying to race and look completely retarded.

yep my girl got so nervous once because she couldn't understand what the track official was telling her to do she put in reverse to back out and hit a Honda that had pulled rigjt up on her car. And the funny part was he wasn't talking to her he was telling the Honda to back the **** up till his turn lol

So do I... it's a stunt driver though. I tag in after leaving the pits... that way you can make an appearance and talk to people and still get good track results.

Nick H has still been quicker and faster than Jake and his 1/8th ETs are right on par with that 2v that gave Jake so many Ls
