Not to mention, the racecraft had 2 people in it and the G8 had 1.

If weight is what he wants, Ill be glad to go from a dig with him on the street in my 4700# truck.

Now lets not get into the weight debate, no one believes what a vehicle weighs anyway. even if you have weight tickets from a cerified scale. internet advertisement weights are real not the scales.

racing to 130mph on a side street with deer and other wildlife is just insane. aren't there enough little cross's along the side of the road already from dumb acts?

Every sort of racing has a chance of death.....no matter what youre racing.....going fast in anything can be dangerous.

People die at 45mph hitting deer, horses, ect....

Racing to 130 is a bit much I agree. But it was just at the time, nothing was around, and I think we both had a point to prove.

I would much perfer a 0-100, 30-100 or something of that nature......


If anyone shows up at SSS, I shall see you there, come rain or shine ^_^

Hello Magoo. how have you been? I dont really agree with the above statement. The faster you go the less weight has to do with it. Ask any land speed racer. Thats when arrowdynamics come in to play. But at the speeds they are racing at I would say yes weight still has something to do with it. Not trying to argue with anybody. Just have a hard time leaving something alone when I dont agree.
