    Does Obama mean I'll need to convert my 5.0 to a hybrid?

    They will probably confiscate our cars,sell them to china for the metal and give the proceeds to people that dont work or pay any taxes.

    Heading to the track

    Just have fun.As your going down the track concentrate on YOUR car until you go thru the traps then make sure where the other car is before trying to turn onto the return road because alot of guys(usually ricers) dont pay attention and just cut you off and almost cause an accident.But most of...

    Went to the track last night and sucked!

    That mph is good for mid 13s easy with tires,but with a blower it should still be trapping a little higher.How is going to the track a waste with street tires?its still giving him some experience at the track and its still fun.Atleast he isnt staying home and being a internet drag racer.LOL
