i went to the one in martin last year
sat by the computer at work that is super fast and got in

went for the experience and to partake of the atmosphere at a nationally televised event

lucked out and got picked for the 32
no skill involved to get picked other than low 10 cars are popular with pinks

won the first round and made it to the final 16

you can say what you will(not meant to anyone in particuler)but that was the coolest thing i ever did with my car and i wish everyone could feel what it was like to come down that return lane in front of that many people and hear the cheering even if i got spanked the next round

imagine what jerry "moparpitbull" hayes felt like when he went all the way

it may seem like a bunch of BS but
