Had a classmate in Highschool whose father raced rail dragsters, tose things are nuts, and really dangerous
In the Vega I was in he had to also customize the firewall and the floor to fit the engine and transmission and it was supposed to turn, but with all that power and so little weight, I doubted its ability to turn well, especially at speed.

Don't think it will help but ok.
My wife got it and I got quarantined with her. How she got it, good question. She went and got her vaccine, a few days later felt bad, went to the ER who told her she was having a reaction to the vaccine. A few days later she felt worse and got tested. It came back positive. She had a fever for 5 days. I was never tested because I had no way to get to a testing facility. I was still not allowed to drive due to knee surgery. But I had what I can only describe as a bad head cold. Talking to my MD, he said all of his patients, that were vaccinated, all describe Covid the same, as a bad head cold

Usually when you stretch a frame for drag racing it is in the front clip area. This creates more engine room. Since the fenders are easily removed, stretching them is easier. You can even purchase stretched fiberglass fenders for several cars these days.
Regardless, it is a major modification building for Comp. The steering linkage was swapped for a rack and pinion system from a Mustang, larger rotors and calipers, & booster came from a Chevy truck, several frame areas were beefed up when the roll cage was built, tubbing out the back for the tires was a major sheet metal job, of course new wheels & tires, the steering column was swapped for length (I forget what from), it goes on and on.

This was a rail dragster, kind of like this
Frankly, even as a kid in high school, as much as I was impressed by the mechanics of it, I thought the drivers were crazy
Had a near panic attack last night
Crawled into bed - in the dark
SHoved my arm under my pillow and SOMETHING BIT ME
Ok, stung
And it hurt.
I turn the light on, there was a WASP.
Under my pillow
The one I had slept on the night before, that one I had shook up in the morning to make my bed.
So the wasp had stung me. It hurt. and I swear it stung in places not even close.
Funnily enough, a friend had just gotten stung by one doing yardwork.
So I remembered to pour alcohol over it (and actually had some on hand)
So far so good, pain managed
BUT here is where the panic comes in:
Now what if
I develop an allergic reaction to the sting!
The way the arm hurt, even though the wasp only got me in the middle of the forearm (on the tender underside where the blood vessels and nerves are just under the skin)
Dear Lord, don't let me develop breathing problems over this....
you get the idea.
Needless to say, I did not sleep all that well.
On the bright side, the spot where I got stung is barely noticeable this morning.
I am just waiting to step on the dumb wasp now.
And I spend half the night shaking my bedding out...

I don't think I'd manage to sleep if I got stung in bed. Stings don't even bother me much, but I'd keep thinking I felt something on me, even if I changed beds.
I know Karate, but bees and spiders don't play fair...haha. I hope you're not allergic.
I think I'd have opted for coffee and video games, and just suffer the consequences the next day.

Which video games do you like?
Currently, my favorite time waste is Minecraft, but I can get equally engrossed in action games. I really enjoyed the Batman Arkham series. Maria and I are currently re-playing the original Diablo, too. (We did Zork: Nemesis earlier in the year.)

I like Minecraft, too. I'm replaying Skyrim again... for like the 20th time. And just downloaded Fable 3, too.
OMG. Yeah, that's the stuff of nightmares right there. Hope you're okay.

Entomologists will now work to eradicate the nest found in Blaine, Wash. Asian giant hornets are an invasive species that prey on honey bees.

allergic reactions to a sting happen pretty darn quickly.
and if I got stung in bed..... first, I would not be able to sleep....second..... I'd have to burn the bed
But with that said, in my old house I id get bitten twice by a spider while sleeping. Got a huge blister on my ankle both times and both times I stripped the bed and put on clean sheets.... also got me to make the bed every day too. Both times I had left the bed unmade
Are they what was causing the unknown bee shortages a few years back?In related news, the first Asian Giant Hornet's (aka Murder Hornets) nest of the year has been found (and eliminated).

I haven't ever gotten around to Skyrim. I've been alternately told I'll hate it and that I'll love it. I should really find out which.
I was into FPS for a while. I really enjoyed Halo, mostly because I'm completely awful at it and was playing with a buddy who was only slightly better. I never knew a FPS could be so funny.
We'll take your coffee shops, but you can keep your damned nightmare bugs, Steve.In related news, the first Asian Giant Hornet's (aka Murder Hornets) nest of the year has been found (and eliminated).
