There's a lot of pictures of drag strips with barns and farms in the background which makes sense to have them in a rural area. But I can't help but think of my grand father who had a farm and having a drag strip on the other side of the road.

Not me man...
you're talking to a guy who has actually ****ed a shop rag into a blower, a guy who painted a frame, tank, and fender in a spare bedroom and the next day the **** carpeting and d****s were harder than a *****'s heart. I am, however, a skilled tie wrap technician.
