Real nice your truck is running so good but there is a TIME and PLACE for
racing! I'll admit I have organized a few street racing events in my time
but that was in the middle of the California desert, on a CLOSED road with
certified EMT's on hand.
Putting your own life in danger is one thing, but please dont take it upon
yourself to put others lives in danger....myself and the others drivers on
the road will appreciate it.
