You had me all excited thinking a member had broke into the 9s with their F150! This is for 1/4 mile times so please note that it's a 1/8 mile that is posted.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that didn't know. I actually googled it, after pages of scrap-booking ideas it hit me. "Oh yeah, haha, he still has the paper license plate on his truck."

Yes, it means it's brand new. I didn't get it until I bought my truck in texas and they put paper plates on it.
