Wayland's favorite trick is to go to Portland International Raceway's open drag nights, and spank the macho racer types in their Corvettes and vintage muscle cars with the little street legal Datsun.   01-26-2009, 08:23 AM   #2 TEG Tesla Fan     Join Date: Aug 2006 Posts: 5,977 Yeah, White Zombie has been at it for a while now (you might notice that youtube drag video you posted is 18 months old).
