[/quote] Thats what i thought at first, but then you realize that some of these guys came out to St louis from the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and then its understandable. I bet if all the cars were local the majority wouldnt have to be trailered in. Trailer queens FTL ---

5 figure money at stake isn’t going to draw any heads/cam cars. With that much money on the line, it’s race-car-with-license-plates time. If you had that much money on the line, you’d be rocking slicks, dumped exhaust, race gas, etc… ---

Lay 200 feet of rubber in Amherst and you’ll have 15 cruisers on your ass in no time, do the same in Buffalo, and the cops will be like “DAMN, do that again!!” ---

I know there have been races for $5000 in Buffalo… No one on here is fast enough…or if they were probably wouldn’t end up with the money even if they did win. ---

Yah iono… the cars are awesome, no doubt about that. but there is nothing really cool about a bunch of fat old men coming together for this. if there is so much money on the line you’d think they’d want the accuracy of a tree and actual 1/4 slips ---
