Vic and I did a run at the last meet. Trust me why do you think he is throwing down the CL offer. LOL

A better driver ha! You are all talk, many people had their opinions about you in Vegas. Anytime you want to run- either car, it doesnt matter. You may beat me in the 55 (remember my car was quite slow at the last meet)but no chance in my 65 unless you trap over 126mph. Either way your car will be in the shop for something afterwards so my car wins no matter what

I guess it'll all depend on how many people are at Carson by the designated time.

Got mine washed and waxed at work today, including interior detail and carpet washing! Looks mighty dandy And all for a discounted $45, while I slaved away at work.
