Damn, last place??? come on folks, that did no justice to Alan's burnout.
That was atleast a $400 dollar (RSA's) burnout uh?? Alan?? hee hee I
need to see those tires, they should be in a Don Garlits museum somewhere.
hee hee. I wish that video was a little smaller size, so everyone could see
it! I'm still laughing my a$$ off over here from that thing! you da man

Thanks!
I wish every one of you had been there to cheer me on.
Would y'all believe that was a last place burnout???
