If it was a sprinter, I bet thered be no complaints, You'd be there!
I could handle a 5000hp nitro dragster at 7am. I can't handle the landscapers at 8am.

It also beats a rooster sounding off at 5:00 a.m. It makes you want to get your Louisville Slugger and have a "conversation" with the Foghorn Leghorn wanna be down the road. :icon_smile_blackeye

On my way down there as soon as I get my coffee drank. I was shocked to see they start running cars at 7:00 AM. I have not been to a drag race since Avilla. A friend of mine said I should check it out. Might hit Gas City on the way home.:checkered:
Have a good Labor Day everybody

I agree Dwight, It is funny and the locals know it's their bread and butter. (Pardon pun in the time for breakfast sense)
Like Rob said, These are the only things other than a jet that litterally hit you in the chest with SOUND. Its more like a dynamite shockwave. WOnder what my SSEI would sound like UNCAPPED, Oh wait, thats 10pds of boost. not 500.
Rob, I know you've been around and have raced under (Strange) Circumstances but the weirdest thing and probably most shocking thing to me ever was watching Toby Beck do a USAC muffler test and not being able to hear the Sprinter any more than your street car. The sound of the power is very much a part of the excitment.
Chuck, who knows why deaf people have loud stereos, play drums ect because they can feel it.
