Ed , I've got to side with Jim on this one. The first time I raced 1/8th mile with a slow car, I looked and the guy was leaving the starting line. Next time I looked, he was passing me at the finish. I'd rather have time to study the closing rate of the faster car. Just my opinion ,so Mulry won't bust my chops

Well, Jim, it probably started with Mr Donut back in the day, and gave way to the staple of all Canadian troopers today - Tim Horton's. By the way, the counter strike is well established on your side and according to the latest market reports, making steady progress. I want a franchise on I75 to take advantage of all those addicted snowbirds. (...and a chance to race more than 7 months a year)
