I had a VW drag car, holding it straight is not as easy as one would think

LOL I was talking to Joey Fribosi last night about this, he's a local VW hotshot who used to drive VW dragsters turning the 1/4 in the 8 second range.
he said it had a 130" wheelbase or something like that and he made it sound like he never had any control problems with it at all. Maybe he was bragging, or maybe it was set up perfect. Dunno, I never tried. I gotta think that at those speeds even a dragster has to be a handful.
Quickest I ever got in a car was high 10's.

Well I'm pretty outraged, Byron. But before I insist that a Moderator ban you and all your friends and family for life, I'll give you an opportunity to redeem yourself. Post a pic. Any pic. Yours are always worthy of whatever redemption you need.

Why, is that the merit by which you judge a woman?

Frankly, I'm behind Ashley all the way. So what that she's the daughter of a multi millionaire racer entrepreneur? I think there's a bit of jealousy displayed here in that she can strap into one of those beasts and even drive it it the line, much less run 4 second times in the thing.

Didn't Mario Andretti hit a few walls for say like the first 20 years of his career? If you can add up the amount of equipment he destroyed on his way to a spectacular set of achievements, it would stagger the mind.

Looks like 5 exhaust ports on one side when there should only be 4 (In Ashley's case, anyway).

Probably because I asked the same question of cool chick after she posted of strapping one on...I was weary of the deference given to her because she was a chick...

I don't know.

Cheap women. Inane comments. Racerbvd is celebrated on this board because of the scuzzy snatch pictures that he posts?

The man has an IQ similar to his shoe size.

Life is short.

I think I'll pass.

Only because he likes little boys. And lotus boy, if you ever called a woman with me cheap, you would find out my shoe size!!! Do you even drive your Porsche or just buy it to say you own one!! I busted you for being a hypocrite POS, your post on moral delema proved that, and you were busted on it even through the dealer stepped up (good for them BTW). You come here and tell every one how much better you think it is out side the USA, you keep your a$$ out and off USA bbs other than move-on where you belong!!

Danica (Patrick) has been doing just fine this year. And if you're talking about the same type of racing, Mrs. Dario Franchitti (Ashley Judd), is always someone to look forward to on the infield.
