Default Racing!!!!

well today after trail riding when we were leaving the gate they lined me up against a jeep wrangler rio grand with a 4cyl and once i hit 2nd in low i was about 3 car lenghts ahead so he had to go get his gfs wrangler and he final beat me by alittle but it still has the sway bars and i dont so i was worrying alittle but then there was 4 of us. Dodge Power Wagon, Chevy half ton, Jeep Wrangler, and Jeep Cherokee(ME). wrangler won both times but the second time i missed 4th so i got slowed down and would have won but the jeeps came out on top (JEEP POWER BABY)lol

When I was a child in HS I was the DC Region SCCA ESP autocross champion so I knew nothing of this drag racing thing . . .

I thought about taking it to some mud drags they had at the fair grounds but i thought it was gonna be MUD and not just some dirt with water sprinkled on it, so if i would have went i think i would have beat alot of them. lol
