where that stupid stick? I bet I can rattle your eyeballs out of your head with that!



























p.s. use of the stupid stick in this post is in no way a reference regarding my feelings of the NHRA and its related events.

This is just alcohol.  It may rattle your eye balls a little. If you really want to rattle your eye balls out, go see a top fuel event . Nitromethane baby :rockon:

If I can make it, I will have a real stick  and likely wearing a black or Military green hat.

 :lol: Haven't been for 10 years but I remember as soon as a nitro car would fire up in the pits , a crowd would quickly gather and one by one , those at the front would come stumbling back through the crowd , one hand over an ear and one hand wiping their eyes , blinded by nitromethane .  And if they open the throttle at all , it is almost enough to knock you off your feet.

Apparently the oval window was that V8 powered one. I heard he went to the quarter finals. There is an import race coming in mid August that Terry Hoogstins says he plans to attend. Sure would be good if a few others would \"represent\" and show up as well. Wayne
