Where did this happen at?

The engine was from a high dollar builder. I will have to look it up and see whom it was that built it.

I been saying that for several years now. Someone needs to figure out what the chances of you wrecking one of these cars is. Has to be pretty high. It's not just you either. The guy in the other lane can take you out.

The HP that can be produced with these cars has gotten completely out of hand for the surfaces they are trying to run on.

Absolutely the truth. No prep on the track is a bit of a gamble but this stuff on the street is beckoning for disaster.
