Went to the drag strip to watch my cousin and his friends beat on their rides this past Wednesday night.

Technically my cousin still hasn't finished his first run, of course that depends on whether or not you consider it started...

The following is the result of a clutch dump at 3000rpm.

Too much power, not enough shaft?

The guy in the GTI sounded like he was short-shifting like hell.

That's a great local brewery that we have. Do I drink their beer? No.

Naw, he wasn't double-clutching like he should.

I would think so. Those guys all live their lives one quarter mile at a time.

OK, I'm done.

Looks like someone got the shaft...

...or maybe he just got booted out...

...something tells me after that went, his velocity wasn't so constant...

I don't care about all that shit.  I'll be going to college to get an education at a cost to my parents.  I'm not going to fool around.
