    I bought a completely stock car from under a tree in our neighborhood. Never opened the hood but a time or two, just to look. Drove it to Ohio, mashed the gas and went straight and set a record.

    That's just not right. It's getting to me, that's just not right. That's.....yeah a helluva lot of fun, but why hasn't somebody beat it already? Somebody with a real car they have time and effort in deserves a record in that class, just sayin'.

      No, really, never mind Spidey. That's....nobody else has run in that particular class and I don't know why.

      Yeah, that was fun, but...yeah that was fun. Just don't understand why nobody else has done it better.

      Come on September....somebody beat it. It's a wounded seal in front of a Great White Shark (since it's Shark Week).

        You earned it fair and square, P.

        And Spidey doesn't hand out accolades like candy, so I'd take it if I was you.

          i think it is awesome for the very reason that you didnt do nuttin, other than... got to the race track. be proud while it lasts dude, cause you actually DID it.

          maybe it will help you if you think about all the land speed peeps that search for that one class, that no body ever messes with, and race way odd ball vehicles, just to get that same paper.

          you are a 100% better land speed guy than i will ever be, because you went! good job Pdub

            Yeah, I was there, but as time goes on, I really wish somebody would just beat it by ten MPH. I doesn't seem right. If I found a hole in the classes, I sure didn't mean to. I just went to have fun. And it sure was fun going that fast, just once. And that's not even fast. That's what I mean. It's a sitting duck (the speed).

                    I would not call it a hole of no one has done it.
                    good job..that is cool to hang on the wall.

                    I know what you mean by holes, like engine sizes gouped together. the biggest engine for a range is gonna take it.

                    I kinda feel bad about that. I drive a candidate for that stuff. tall geared ready ..

                      Hey 'dub, what class is D/FSS? I know its D-motor c.i., but what's the 'F' stand for?

                      You guys in the peanut gallery can insert wisecrack here. F = __________ .
                      Yes, I'm a CarJunkie... How many times would YOU rebuild the same engine before getting a crate motor?

                          If I remember correctly the F is for production cars (Coupe, Sedans, Sport Cars and Pickups).
