Re: Import Drag racing YUCK!

[Matthew Yip <mgyip@yahoo.com>]

Drag racing isn't my cup of tea either but it's fun when you can catch'em
sleeping at a stoplight.  While I've never done this myself, I'm sure that
even a lowly F350 diesel could give a good run against some of these rice
rockets :)

When I was in high school (back in the early 1800s), a buddy of mine took his
Dad's 1970 Ford Torino station wagon to Old Dominion Raceway just for grins. 
The car was a 289 automatic - a real barn-burner.  The kicker is that he
actually beat a few Mustwangs and Camaros b/c the Torino couldn't spin the
tires off the line - just slow, consistent times.  

Go ahead and run your car - it'll be interesting, to say the least.  Just
don't call me when the motor blow up - my trailer went to Canada for a Pro
Race.
