Welcome back, SST!! And Happy New Year to you and your lil', growingfamily too!!

Hey, I went on vacation for two weeks not that long ago, and was only able to get one once in that time. Yet I still surpassed your count. And w/o too much blatant post-whoring too, even if I do say so myself.

Looks like the mods/admin finally squashed the Top Speed Reached in Your 3 thread.
I was surprised it was let gothat long.Street racing is a no-no.

edit: BTW Jaimie, I wasn't talking about NOS. NOS is Nitrous Oxide... laughing gas. I was talking about Nitro-Methane, a mix of Nitroglycerin and Methanol alcohol. What Top Fuel dragsters and Funny cars use in NHRA.

1950. What a nice, round number... too bad it won't be around for too long.

I saw that also, but not my place, my posted speed was on a track
Congrats on 1952 posts

Thanks. It's become the running gag around here, and the contest to end all contests. I'm trying not to P-W too much to get my count though.
I remember your post in that thread also. And I added a few lines to it. Now it's under the heading of "useless post."

I'd be on them like every day until I got some results. Do you have a loaner car from them?
