    the wife, my youngest son and i went to the drag races last night at lubbock race way. it was fun, it was the first time for both of them.. my 3 year old was really enjoying it, which of course made me happy:D and my wife really liked it too. so all and all it was a good night, even though i couldn't take my comet... but i really did contemplate racing the caravan:drive:of course as i have written in another post, i was hoping to have a car in the 12's well there were only afew cars out there who weren't in the 12's or lower....

    late 90's honda civic dl running a 11.70 :yikes:
    2 late model camaro's running low 12's
    1 late model camaro running high 10's
    1 06 mustang running mid 10's
    2 80's mustangs running high 12's
    1 67 mustang fastback running low 11's
    there were others.... there was this on saturn that ran i 15.50 i think i can take em.....

    so i really need to find a good posi 9 in with mid 3's i told my wife that and she said well how much is that going to cost and i just smiled and she said no really how much?? and i told her about 2 grand if i'm lucky and she smiled and sat there and was really quite for a minute and then looked at me with her beautiful eyes and said... don't forget we need to turn the movie in to blockbuster tonight.. i think she was changing the subject.....

    Heck, why not? There was a guy running a brand new Escape and another guy running a new Taurus (looked like a rental car) here at Fun Ford Weekend this year. :rofl2:

    Speeking of rental cars have you seen Jackass the movie. They took a rental Taurus and entered it into a Demo Derby. Then Returned to the reantal place. Funny Stuff
