God I loved those days,open headers on the streets of Henderson going to the race track, 104 octane gas for 36 cents a gallon, regular was 29, fast cars and loose women, growing up in the 50s was a ball. We used to drive 120MPH on every open stretch of road cuz there was no speed limit, and the cops wouldn't stop ya unless you were driving erratically, hell we all were driving erratically at 120! Those cars didn't have the suspension to be safe at 120

american mucle is better then the riceburning crap thekids drive now. most of those cars sound like a pissed off bumblebee. plus the new gto sucks give me an old 69 gto or roadrunner hope to one day rebuild a 66 stang with my son.

Havent got it to the track yet but the computer said low 11s, high 10s, definently pulls the wheels, Like to take Vi for a ride and scare the crap outa him!~LOL~I may be trying nitrous to get in the 9s, I have the set up all ready, just in case. Man 9s in a street car, I remember when 9 second quarters were the territory of blown fuel hemi dragsters!

I've never really been all that impressed with straight-line or circle racers, Med ... but I'll Tell ya what ... I'll ride on the strip with you for ten-seconds, and you ride with me down a sandwash in the Mojave Desert doing over a 100mph on a dirt bike ... and we'll see who has the brown shorts when its all over. Deal?

Or, we'll just jump on a couple of good bicycles and go for a little double century and see who still has a functioning heart left when its over. How's that sound? *lol*

You talkin 2 hundred yards or miles, I'll do the yards but I probably couldn't make one mile, although I can walk a couple a miles at a time, fast walk. Geeze are you the Iron man or just bragging. I thought were 70 years or older. I guess I'd have to fight dirty, you know, because of the stamina thing, you could go ten rounds, I'd have to knock you out in the first~LOL~

Hey ... let's not stretch this age thing out Med. I'm not 70 YET. *lol*

Yeppers ... I was talkin 200 MILES.

Well, if you can ride a bike for 200 miles, I'd better stop pissing you off, cause I know I couldn't outrun you.
