Cool To race or not to race...

Hey guys I was just wondering if I should waste my time racing a pick-up truck (Ford lightening) and a station wagon (Dodge Magnum (Hemi)). The challenge has been put to me. They claim that we should stay in the soccer
mom business. Whatcha Think?

you don't stand a chance with either one in a straight line.

I agree w/Josh and Kirk: both those cars will eat you up in a Qtr or Qtr +. On some kinda "road course" you will walk that Ford, if the curves are tightish. Dunno about the hemi brick. Don't speed on the local streets. GL,md
