If it's .250 wall Moly tubing out there it MIGHT not, but I wouldn't count on it. Since some seem to be so worried about what's under it. I will look tomorrow. I think they about 10 trailers down from us.

Finding a good spot was tough to hit it with any power. We went 1.07 the first round, but the car just got a tiny bit out of groove and spun the tires at about 200 ft and our day was done
