    I had to work hard at going that slow.:yup: I wuz gonna do a burn out, but all I got was fan belt squeal:rofl:. I tried to power brake and couldn't find the power;). My reaction time was great, but the Mav said "No Way":naughty:.

    The bad part was the sweeper truck had a better 60 ft time then I did:rofl2:.
