Subject: RE: BS: Redneck Tragedy
Left turns have a place. I just don't care for that place. I agree with Bobert on the "road races". I don't even get much jollies from Grand Prix because the rides are too far from my reality.

I could go on but I'll reiterate my two cents that I posted to past threads... up country, the race ends at 100 metres from the start line and the last one to cross the finish line wins. Up country, when the flag is waved, ya take yer foot off the brake and let'er crawl in bull low 4X4. Rules are... no touchin any pedals... gas, clutch, brake and yer out. Good tunes on the speakers help with the crowd but they don't matter fer nuthin on accounta, up country, it's "kin she craaaawwwllll?"

I came in second one year with a 1984 F150 4X4 straight six 4 speed. That darlin could crawl... I got out halfway and took a piss before the tailgate passed me. Now, I woulda said bumper but rear bumpers were an option back in the good old boy days eh? What a truck! Simple engine easy ta work on. 15" wheels. No rear bumper, no radio, no AC... just a truck that was light and could moose thru the bush and could haul a laod. Nowadays I can't even fix the windows if they won't crank up and down. Sigh.

THAT THERE is a true redneck tragedy.
