well, if he starts it and the drive shaft turns with the car in nuetral, that would be a good indicator that the rear end bit the big one. i wasn't hooking as well as i could have hoped but it wasn't like being on a frozen pond either. i think you heard me spinning some on the first pass.

jeremy, i say, if he want's to play, go get him. put some serious cash up on it too. i would race him for free and keep it close and maybe let him edge you out on the free run, then tell him you need to adjust something then run him for money. he'll bite...

Heh,heh... People are suckers when it comes to trucks sometimes. I'm starting to realize how word travels when you have a fast truck,though. It's getting harder and harder to get people to bite in Cleveland. Looks like I'm about to starting traveling to all the other local crap towns. There is a town(I told you about on the phone) that throws serious money on some slow *** cars. It's got some thug racers there, so I won't be attending them alone. The guys there do alot of betting on both vehicles that race without knowing anything about either vehicles. I would be a big time underdog there, and might **** a few people off.

And if I think the guy beside me is faster, I can always use my yank the wheel over and run into him move. I've gotten that one down, huh?
