2008 Hot Rod's Pump Gas Drags. 56K HA!

[WalkS]

So yea my dad, brother and I took a trip to Memphis, Tennessee to watch the Pump Gas Drags. There was defiantly some, high dollar, superior quality, badass cars there this year. But I just wish Brian Anderson would apply for the PGD's again...argh.

We stopped at the National Civil Rights Museum, where it was the Lorraine Motel that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. Pretty neat museum and defiantly deep...

Well thats all I got, it started to rain after the second round of eliminations. So we went back to the hotel, and we could not make it to the rest of the event today b/c we have to make the 7 hour drive all the way home. I don't know who won the event at this time, no one has posted up on the Hot Rod fourms. Hope yall enjoy, my fingers hurt. :(

It ran like poo, breaking up and stuff. The best time was a low 12 with the axles in the front removed.

[FasTech]

Thanks for the feedback guys! I was rooting for the Jeep, maybe next year he can come back running better.

[Sol-Badguy]

I'm sorry, but out of any of the cars, those two snails on the Viper just looked scary as hell.

[.:Stirfry:.]

It ran like poo, breaking up and stuff. The best time was a low 12 with the axles in the front removed.
