    Looks like Dave is going to get nutty..... Or is that even more nutty?

    I'll stop commenting from the peanut gallery now.

    North Carolina for corporate......
    About Us/History – Careers Hampton Farms

    "Since the 1990s, the company has grown from a few hundred employees to well over 1,000 today. The growth has come through internal growth and acquisitions. During this time, the company has acquired a number of companies ranging from Martinelli’s Peanuts in Springfield, Massachusetts, to Jimbo’s Jumbos in Edenton, North Carolina, and Portales Select Peanut Company in Portales, New Mexico. Acquisitions continue to this day, while the company seeks new opportunities for the future."

    Had a buddy that married into a popcorn, peanut, and Carni/circus supply place. They brought in truckloads of raw nuts and roasted and packaged them for resale in either their San Francisco or Sacramento locations.

    Yes I'm aware of the Scott Kalita accident.
    Here's an idea. Build tracks that are capable of hosting Top Fuel cars. Like the Texas motor plex or San Antonio raceway before they closed. If a track isn't long enough either make it longer or no top fuel for you. 1/8 mile is a bunch of bulldhit too
    1/4 MILE OR NOTHING :eek:

    I respect your opinion on that.

    My opinion is that the quarter mile is too short. Would prefer them to stretch it out to a Kilometer or mile. Try to get run time to be closer to staging time.

    For me it feels like a long time waiting between runs.
