We love it, it wouldnt be the same without the half gravel staging lane, dirt pits & nearly non existant return road. I think last time I only got water put down once on the burnout patch & starting line wasnt even looked at. This makes it even more amazing for the time that was done. Well done all round im spewin I wasnt down there to have a looksie.

I know it is still the standed motor.
