Was at my best freinds house showing it off. Can't stop many places without talking about it.

BTW. 250 posts before I last posted in about 5 hrs. So I make a post and for the next 8 hrs, only about ten. What's up with that? Am I a PW killer. :(

In a drag race speed is measured in a 66-foot "speed trap" that ends at the finish line.

Born on the backroads of America in the post World War II years, drag racing's roots were planted on dry lake beds like Muroc in California's Mojave Desert, where hot rodders had congregated since the early 1930s and speeds first topped 100 mph.

One could even argue that drag racing was born in Goltry, Okla., in 1913, with the birth of Wally Parks, who nearly four decades later would found drag racing's most successful and influential sanctioning body.

Parks' family moved to California in the early 1920s, and Parks had an early interest in cars. He attended his first dry lake speed trials event in the 1930s, which whetted his fascination for performance. In 1937, Parks was one of the founders of the Road Runners Club.

Organized drag racing:
In 1947, Parks, a military tank test-driver for General Motors (Take that Dodge and Ford)who served in the army in the South Pacific in World War II, helped organize the Southern California Timing Association and later became its general manager.
