Bill's Notes:
Draglist EXTREME on Twitter by Bill Pratt.
Currently,
the Draglist Twitter account gets all our stories, photos, links, etc.,
AND it also gets a tweet for each and every update we make to the drag
racing lists. That could be hundreds a day in some cases.
To give
our more moderate (i.e., not insane) readers a break, we have created
the new Draglist EXTREME Twitter account, which will get NOTHING but
those hundreds and hundreds of individual drag list updates...
The new account is at this URL and if you are crazy enough to want ALL those updates, here you go: https://twitter.com/#!/draglistX - Dec 7, 2011
