- I get goose pimples every time I even get near one of these machines!
- The power and speed of these beauties is just about the most incredible
- thing I have ever witnessed.

- I haven't visited r.a.sports in a while but when I did I seldom saw any
- drag racing posts. I think it's about time to get r.a.hotrod put to a
- discussion again. A mailing list was created after the last failed attempt
- and this list has done very well. Only problem for me is that I keep getting
- dumped from the mailer and it won't let me back on. WAAAAAAA!!! I want my
- REC.AUTOS.HOTROD!
