    Great video! Reminds me of the races back in the day at MoKan Dragstrip near Joplin Mo. That's back when racers won on talent, know how, and sheer determination. Nowadays it's  corporate dollars!

     :iagree:   They need to outlaw the delay boxes and computer controlled launching devices in all cars and get back to making the driver earn his pay......    :burnout:    :bigshades:   :cooldancing:
