I think you can get in Kennedale cheaper than that and get a CHRISTMAS TREE an actual timeslip !!!!!

TMS needs to set up a REAL dragstrip and build on this program. I think as it is will lose interest fast.......

The "midnight drags" here locally, they do not want time slips or the score boards turned on. They took a vote. The ricers probably don't want their 15 second ETs shown. One kid in the staging lanes next to me was showing his buddy his time slip. "Look, 15.35! These clocks are F...ed up. EVERYBODY knows this is a 13 second car!"

Yeah, and I weigh 120 lbs.

i remember when i used to work the midnite type deals.would pack the house for sure.biggest problem i had with alot of the NT cars was alot of em didnt meet safety rules.No bars,helmets,jackets etc.Could tell when one was on a quick trip and radio the tower and ask what the et was.if it was quick or fast enough to require something,I check'd or had them checked and if they couldnt come up with it or slow it down,it was spectating time.Sure,I got cuss'd out alot,but I didnt need a family and lawyer's up my pants when one of em got hurt or worse when something went wrong and i let em run without the proper safety equipment.i had alot of slow ones that didnt want their friends to know they were slow,but they werent my concern like the quicker/faster ones in gutted out cars with a bottle of n2o or a turbo wearing a tshirt,jeans,and bust off a 9-10 sec pass.
