    Heck if you want to split a van in half, just do what they did to one of our trailers this week. Here’s the recipe, take a 2006 abused trailer, overload it with rollstock to the door, leave the tandems at the rear, and when the 8k lb clamp truck goes in for the third roll, you have two trailers instantly. It took two wreckers supporting it in the middle to finish the off load.

    If it were 2WD, I can see it. 4x4 pickups are the vehicle of choice for the guy that wants to recreate in Hell and make it out. You would have to take out what makes that truck cool to do what you want to do.

    If you are going to rule the strip, it's not "sportscar" that you have to beat, its the groundpounders...you know, the tubbed out, full cage, point and shoot skinny front tires, no power steering, overheat at a traffic light type cars. They keep Farmtruck around for comedy relief.

    If it's money, aim for the sportscars. You can make more money in 1 cannonball than you can in a year dragging. However, the odds of going to jail are pretty good.

    Spent the morning in the er getting my ticker checked out. Couple rounds of nitro got my pressure down. They wanted to put me up for the night but didn't have a clue what was wrong so I checked myself out. Taking it easy for now.

    Don't mess around with it, take care of yourself, your heart isn't one of the things to be second guessed imo. If your heart stops so does everything else. Hope everything is ok.
