Things to know about racing . . .
 
He who hits his nitrous last always wins.

With road racing suspension and street tires you CAN launch just as good as a car w/ slicks and a drag setup.

When reaching your cars top speed it may suddenly spin out.

Two nitrous bottles make more power than one.
























Just a few useful tips from our favorite movie :-D.

And don't forget that 'double clutching' nets you at least a second in the 1/4...

Since that movie came out, I've never seen so many stupid whale tales, jungle gyms, fart pipes, G-reddy stickers, and 19 inch rims on a car that isn't worth 1/2 of what the rims are.

They're not jungle gyms, they're BOOKSHELVES!

My mom is this cute little Italian lady, and she calls me one day, and sounds all flabbergasted...she says " I saw this little car the other day with a METAL BOOKSHELF on the trunk!?! Is this some new car trend?? I didn't know kids read books anymore." So I got to thinking about it, and I figured out she meant the aluminum wings :D :D :D
