Steve

they are increasing the shutdown lane a little over 300'. it is still going to be uphill (if you saw how much blasting was needed to make it how it is, you would definately understand the reasoning!)

i doubt they will do it a quarter in the next few years, but it wouldnt suprise me the least if it does happen at some point. HASH (or SHHA, whatever branch of the company you are talking about) does some weird things sometimes. but the golden tie is that its all about money.

they got NHRA sanctioned yet? last i heard it was still being finalized.





as for hanging out at a gas station.....at some point you will grow up and realize that not all things in life happen at a gas station while staring at other shitboxes.

Freddy's however.....
