Spanked a ricer yesterday

[cwarner]

I come up on a Eagle Talon ,it had a huge fartpipe muffler hanging out the back and an aluminum wing that should have been on a IHRA Pro Mod car.

Well I notice it is just a Talon, not a TSI so it isn't turbocharged. I'm thinking I've got a chance. I get next time him and blip the throttle and the turbo whine gets his attention. We both roll into it and I left him in a cloud of diesel smoke ! We ran 3 times from a roll with the same outcome.

It's kinda sad when a #7000 truck beats a car

I thought Eagle is American not a ricer?

Your right ! I just called it a ricer because of the huge wing and muffler hanging out the back.

Nah, shopping carts look better with all the chrome plating, there just as big as a ricer and I bet they would take impact better also IMO (ever notice with the ground FX bumpers they always look like they are gonna fall apart)! Even with that one bad wheel you always seem to get on the carts they are still funner to drive! Id take the cart hands down any day of the week!
