Hey. I didn't know you were in town.

Wanted to get along to this to see Matt race, but was working on the barndoor instead.

Matt ended up running a 9.5!! (yes, it's a 1/4 mile!) 8)

It's a cool thing! 8)

It's slowly been getting quicker and quicker. Saw it run last year, it's nuts! The silent burnouts really mess with your head!

There's more on it at the Volksworld site....
