If you can make that then you will have no prblem on Saturday. The course will be slightly more difficult than what you wer...

I agree with WT. Not so much from a spectators perspective but from a racers perspective. Getting a good start is all part of the race.

Drag racing is based on reaction time. If its good enough for "Big Daddy" its good enough for me.
