The men who built America

Actually no I haven't, but it was more a figure of speech. But don't they use brakes to steer because the wheels are off the ground anyway?

Sand cars do but not real drag cars. The show-stopping wheel-standers use such brakes but you won't see individual-side brakes on any big-time drag car. My sons drive our funny cars and there is no steering for the first few hundred feet. You must set the car up and balance the roll-out of the rear tires then aim it perfectly in the beams if you want to be in your own lane when the front tires set down and let you start steering. During the run however, there's lots of steering done, trust me! Here's one of our cars with Buzzz "Wannabe" driving.

No we didn't. We haven't made a pass since Obama took office. We still have cars and engines but our businesses all fell completely off cliffs the day he was elected. Maybe some day soon.
When we did race, we ran CIFCA (California Independent Funny Car Association) all over the Western US. Great group and it was an affordable platform when they ran the 7.50 et index. When they decided to run faster, into the sixes, everybody blew their crap up and the circuit died shortly thereafter.

Correct. He should have said "haven't made a pass since January 20, 2009".

Land sales sucked long before that date though........ At the same time, things have really picked up out here and other places I drove the last couple of weeks. What's going on out there? Just eating up existing land inventory? Nothing changing hands?

You're right. Let me reword it. We haven't loaded a race car in our trailer since November of 2008 when sheep outnumbered our productive class and businesses like mine all over America began struggling or failing in record numbers thanks to people like our beloved Bobby Valentine! This way we'll keep politics out of it and just keep it in our forum family.

Actually Bobby Miller if you were keeping track of the economy you would have know that it started to die well before 2008. I know my company seen it coming.
