I didn't say anything about a hat (especially one like that), but I'll consider the source of your comment. You know Ed, I think you need a vacation from New Jersey, I think being that close to Snookie has warped your mind...or maybe it's that blowhard governor of yours who's good at tough talking, but given the state of your states economy, his actions have shown me "Jack Squat"....I guess you two are meant to be neighbors. Oh, and as for my (as you called it) "rocket car" (I never said that, but given your also being a neighbor to that other blowhard Rush), I'll have you know that I won my first race of the year (even though it was an import theme'd race), the bracket final was an ALL-AMERICAN shootout between my Chevy, and a Dodge Neon SRT!

I wasn't going to talk about it here, but since you had to go there, now I can ask you...what's your Gremlin done lately? I don't talk crap about your car like you seem to love doing to mine (I actually like seeing something else against the norm out there), but you keep hurling insults at mine and just know this....what you sew, so shall you reap!!!

Gary,you silly little boy.I don't mhave to come on here and constantly babble about my car
like some people we know.And by the way the car isn't mine anymore.The new owner will show you what it's got.
How can you not make fun of an 80s tin can?
And our governor is doing OK,in spiteof the opposition from your socialist democrat friends who keep trying to throw road blocks in the path to fiscal responsibility.
Good bye Gary and good luck babbling on.
And that hat would be fitting for your slow crawl down your lane,but keep an eye in your rearview.

I sure race a lot of them here in D-1.

Over and beyond the fact that your state is the home of my favorite NFL football team "The Baltimore Ravens", I'd like to race out there myself someday. If you fast class stockers race in 9's, then there's hope that my car might see a 14sec et slip (don't tell that to Ed, as if I could get that kind of et from my car, then I'd be closer to a good heads up run with his Gremlin??? It sure doesn't happen here in 1300ft Phoenix, Az., but that's ok, I'll take what I can get.....

I'll bet it is, and I look forward to the opportunity of doing so, when I get to more sea level tracks where they'd run that quick. I guess there were maybe one or a few that ran that quick here, but I'd have to check out the national event we had here to see....still not as many as you'd get out there....

Lightbulb Re: Poll Do you use a SA or M rated helmet?

I've got an idea how about all those folks that think there OK with the absolute minimum safety equipment, may be they could just get by with a stocking cap with a chin strap to keep the mush together so there will be less down time when there cleaning up after the wreck, also could also help the gene pool in the long run, witch would fix alot of other problems we currently have!!!!
