Wasn't long before NHRA mandated water only for burnouts. No fun in those guys ever!Flagghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16340328159706259273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-31073505214695970302018-05-17T18:13:32.631-07:002018-05-17T18:13:32.631-07:00You mileage may vary.You mileage may vary.Aggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11089648434324058300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-52777746438905170652018-05-17T11:47:13.534-07:002018-05-17T11:47:13.534-07:00Yeah, they were awesome and looked just like that....Yeah, they were awesome and looked just like that.
