Good kill. Better hold off on the LTNGKLR plate until you're deep into the 12's. It would be pretty embarrassing getting stomped by a L with that plate.

Working on the 12's now....should be 12.80 or so soon!

He was really shocked.....the look on his face was priceless to say the least! I think I will hold off on the personalized plate and just keep it a sleeper....more fun that way!

blownchevy- I wouldn't race 281cipwr if I were you. He's got a GT. They are really fast. They're putting 215hp to the ground these days. I don't think you can handle him.
