Do frozen snails still leave a trail?

Yes, but due to the cold, and the salt used to melt ice, the snail trails end up in this shape : TT
It has to do with the molecular structure of an overweight baboon eating a falling banana.
Make the right choices now

They are allowed to drink champagne, just not alcohol right?

MomsSol if it's the baboon I am thinking of then the velocity is inversely proportional to the volume.  In this case the scale goes to 11.

Critter if I send you a new keyboard to replace the ones I am accused of destroying on you, do you think you could type a coherent sentence for us?

Are we still worrying that darned banana?  It'll never reach the ground anyway, especially with an overweight baboon involved . . .

See that S-Car Go!

SA - probably not

Mom -  I spent July, August and Part of Sept in Adak.  I came by ship from Hawaii,  believe me it was winter to us.

Ron,  the auto combined with drag radials that are 10 inches wide is what helped him achieve the times.  I have difficult time getting my power to the ground.

Well quoting magical times like 12.9 just isn't realistic.  From the looks of things here most guys run in the 13s even with some mods.

elff hit it right on the head when he mentioned the es CAR GO and Moms Sol with all her wisdom acknowledged the brilliance in the comment.

Joe, thanks indeed for the explanation, you hit it right on the head, so I was at least right on the auto part?  The drag radials that are 10 inches wide would certainly do the trick on the strip!  Now, if the banana was there laying on the road it might indeed change the hypothesis!!! :drive: :lol:

It is realistic if somebody else did it, depends on the track mostly.
SpeedRacer does like 1.7s on 60ft iirc, the next guy who I know did a 13.0 with only tune and with 1,8* on 60ft, all the rest of us did only 2.0-2.1 on sixty.

Your Kappa is auto or manual?

PS. SA & elff stop attacking me  :gaah: or I will do same but maybe in different conditions  :devil:  :poke:
