Hey Jim. Florida now has a lot of 1/2 mile WannaGoFast drag races. Ever run one of those? I hear that Insurance Company is the reason 1/2mile drag racing was discontinued in New London.NC and Clayton,Ga. No crash barrier between cars doing over 200MPH with fans sitting in lawn chairs next to the airport landing strip-drag racing strip. Squirrel Crusher
