Are ya sure it wasn't bought by- Odami ben-Gouged?

Anything short of $120,000 and you didn't get ripped, if 1/4 mile performance was what you were looking for. By the time he had that shipped to the middle-east, he prolly had around 60K into it and then for another 2 mil, he prolly built his personal drag strip in his back yard.

It's a bit odd to see he managed to be .4 short of Jason's ET with the same mph. But I know the set-up was changed bigtime from when J ran his best and when it was sold. Oh well. Not my concern.

I think it's expired on the host. I can't get it either. It's all good tho. There wasn't any sound. All you saw was him take off then the ET pop up on the board.

That 8.70 by JLP was a sweet run, I also believe his race weight was like 4300 lbs.........I think thats what I read anyway.

going back and watching the videos of his run, I'm beginning to become a little un-impressed, I now he is working on his truck again now that he found out about my buddies drag L, but 159 mph is still kinda low for the way his truck is set up
