Topic: Noob checking in

long time lurker first time poster.  Figured would finally make a screen name and join the fun.  Few of us are planning the winter rally escape from moscow.  Looking forward to the rally and enjoy seeing new parts of the nation.  I am a veteran dragweek participant for last 5 years.  The crew will be other dragweek members with affinity for taking questionable vehicles and seeing new areas of this great country.

Just curious, what car did you run in Drag Week? I went as a spectator for the first time. Spent the day at Byron even though I was sick as a dog.

And by the way, Welcome to the shenanigans.

Well what did you think would happen? You can't just put human hands and feet on a T-rex and assume things will go well.
