Have you attempted to remove the "demon bolts" off of your exhaust yet? Many ratchets, sockets and knuckles have met their demise with those bolts.

Yeah. One no problem either soon as I got the right point of entry and length of extensions, swivels and wobbles lol

Didn't hurt that the car was only a couple months old either I'm sure

I have the 67" one piece version. They are really light and easy to move around. i hang them from a hook on the wall. They fit perfectly between the wall studs.
If you are lowered more than ~1", you will need to either make a 2x12 extension or pick up the race ramp extensions. The piece under the oem bumper was starting to scrape after dropping onto Swift springs.

I guess if you build a race car and refuse to loose you have to accept the consequences. I feel like a complete jackass but at least I won both the dig and a 20 roll. Other guy lost and got the ticket lol. By the way this was not in town and we thought no one else was around at least it appeared that way until we saw the flashing lights. Guess I'll have to bite the bullet get a set of drag radials and leave the itch on the track. Either that or loose my license
You are quite the genius. Street racing posts are positively prohibited here -- something you agreed to when you signed up for the forum. It is also amazingly stupid behavior in the first place. You are a true example to us all.

Reported.

Your absolutely right it was stupid that's why I said I felt like a jackass. Definitely not worth it and can't afford to do it again. As for the post again you are correct. I haven't been a member for long and didn't remember that rule. I deleted the post. Lesson learned. My apologies.
