Wow! These are just marvelous videos. I love what you guys are running down there and I KNOW we are remiss in getting all your best speeds and ETs. Thanks so much for sharing these... now I have to watch them again to credit those guys in the Drag Lists with their best times (and that's just the guys on the videos -- got to get the rest somehow). So cool... bp
