This just in! New NHRA CEO Sum Tin Wong states to the OP of this thread "AHHH Roundeye, yooo must be drinkin twooo mach scotch!" LMAO!!
In other news the payment arrived this morning at the Glendora, California headquarters of the NHRA but oddly enough the payment wasn't delivered by a Brinks truck. A Wine and More semi truck was seen offloading its goods. More at 11. |
