After his years at the MCRD, the gunny retired to a stress free life of raising cows.....
I thought about it, but decided not to jump through the hoops and be able to skip the DOT scales
I used to race like that when I was stationed in Fort Sill, OK. We ran an 1/8 mile track. You would spend most of the day trying to "dial in" your time. Before racing started in the evening you would tell them how fast you were going to run and they would paint that on your windshield.
It did not matter what the other lane was running. He dialed in his time and they set the clock accordingly. If he was faster than you, he had to wait. The idea was you should both be at the finish line at the same time. Whoever crossed first - without "breaking out" (running faster than you dialed in) would win.
I was running my '71 Cuda against some kind of fiberglass bodied "Funny car". I drove it on the street. I am absolutely positive he moved his around in a trailer. If I had to guess, I would guess he was even running "hot block". We guys running street cars tried to be courteous to the guys running the hot blocks and "set the light" as quick as we could so the other lane did not harm their engine. They also had "rail dragsters" and "bikes" (those guys were insane).
Anyway, his time was maybe three seconds less than mine. I got a three second head start. I should have beat him especially if he broke out. I did something you never do when drag racing. I looked in my rear view mirror as I was heading to the finish line. I watched the lights come down and saw him get his green. Of course, not much I could do. I was running as fast as I could. It is really a trip getting passed like you are standing still when you are doing over 100 mph. Yes, he won. I suppose I should have given a little slower dial in time, but I thought I might run a little faster when I actually had somebody in the opposite lane and I did not want to break out.
This was back in the late '70s. I sure miss drag racing - on the track. Now I drive a Chrysler Town and Country mini-van.
I SURE WISH I STILL HAD MY CUDA!
These things really pack a punch.

Only smoke the point.
There's no fat in the flat and for how long you have to smoke it to get it past the stall, you end up cooking all of the juices out. I've always felt that you need a lot of sauce to eat it.
Problem with the point is it's pretty fatty, but it stays moist and delicious.
I'm sure there's going to be all the pros along shortly to tell me how wrong I am and I must be doing it wrong.
I chop up the flat and put it in chili.

Honest curiosity
How are having a flatbed and DOT scales related?
Or am I missunderstanding something?
Idaho plates for the win!Only smoke the point.

Bracket racing takes a bit of skill. Not everyone is consistent.

I ran brackets in late 70's early 80's 1970 Cuda and a 73 Chevelle, had about 14 trophies and one cash payout. I was a baller back in the day, 20 YO owned the house and 2 race cars.

CA Veh. Code, If it has anything besides an open box bed, the vehicle is subject to Comercial fee rates and inspection including weight checks.
13.010 Commercial Vehicle Definitions - California DMV
Commercial Vehicle (VC §260)—A commercial vehicle is a vehicle required to be registered which is used or maintained for the transportation of persons for hire, compensation, or profit or designed, used, or maintained primarily for the transportation of property. The following vehicles may be...

Now if I were to Permanently attach a camper to it, I could get around the Commercial licensing. Just don’t carry tools or lumber, feed, etc. in it.
In short All Pickup Trucks are Commercial Vehicles, but only some need Specific DOT Inspections and Weight checks.
Kinda funny seeing a ‘90’s Toyota Tacoma with a flatbed pulling into the inspection facility
This goes beyond bad. Must watch how we put our words together fellows.
Alright fat fuckers, time to bitch and whine about being stuck behind a cyclist
Without us cyclist getting lazy, money grabbing politicians off the stick, and getting those roads paved….you’d still probably be driving though two feet of muck on a vehicle that needed wheels and tires better suited to a model T Ford. (And struggling to get 10mph)
And I’m NOT FAT!
.And besides, why are you texting while driving.

I wasn’t in the Navy, but it looked to me like the larger Chicom ship cut its Coast Guard ship off to avoid a collision with the Philippine CG. Maybe worried about an incident?
It looked to me more like the PLA guard ship was going to pull alongside the Philippine ship to hit it with the water cannon. They were not actually on a collision course.
For those that can’t decide which one to use:
