Isn't that an awesome show... I loved last nights episode....
Takes me 10 months to get ready to race a Prepared car. These guys build
one in 10 hrs...
Not that you could have got me in the damn things to drive them... Trust me
I am not a Player there.... I would build it but I damn sure wouldn't drive
it.... there was NOTHING Safe about that set up on either car.... wow....
Loved the next one on shooting Pumpkins too.... Very Cool
