What were you in?

Don't make me bring out the big BS flag, bra. :)

You missed one hell of a night. 50+ cars down 190, more races than I care to count. Some very quick cars out there, a few Mustangs that looked completely streetable and run 131 mph trap speeds. Wicked...

Ran into a yellow 98 NSX and pulled him 2 truck lengths to 140mph from a 60mph punch. Jeff got some of the action and pulled him as well. Thanks to Rob, Mike, Mike B (winterhawk), and Jeff for representing the Lightning crowd. We got some respect out there. :)

You guys are going to get yourselves focking killed. For Christsakes be careful when doing that street racing sh!t. I don't want the hear on the 10:00 news that you guys got into a wreck. Leave the street racing for the children we can do without in the gene pool.

Ho hum, if you can't run with the big dogs, then stay at home and preach against it on the Net. :rolleyes: :D


I know what you are saying Tom and you are saying it only because you love me. Thank you.

Merry Christmas buddy.

I'm with Tom on this. If you guys are really doing what you say you are doing (pregnant pause), I would hate to see a TALON sticker on the late night news at some fatality accident. No matter how good you guys are at handling your trucks, you never know who's in the other vehicle. I'm just a big chicken I guess. I even get a little nervous going 100+ in the quarter under controlled circumstances. :cool:

I'd have to agree with Dennis. If you wreck, that would suck enough, but then we would probably have our logo splashed up on the screen on broken glass, and well, that would suck a lot.

We certainly can't tell you what to do, but just be careful you guys.

Why would the group be responsible for the actions of one? Surely people are smart enough to pin the responsibility on one person, not an entire group. On second thought....

There is no TALON sticker on my truck, and will not be. Looks like ass with a red truck. Sorry.

Guess I never answered this question. Anyway, here is the vehicle on which I did a 75-145 jaunt in 3.5 seconds in sixth gear only:eek2: This thing is a true widow maker, a challenge to ride at the limits. I better stay off this thing:twitch: My Lightning is now the slowest vehicle in the garage:crying:
