Ripcord huh? I thought they only had the stand with the crank, didn't know they had a rip cord version. I had a Smash Up Derby car with one of those plastic rip cords.

i know they had both kinds. i had the rip cord and my cousin had the crank kind. he hated me for it.

in retrospect he might have hated me because i wouldn't let him use mine and he would grind his knuckles to hamburger turning that crank on the cement.

Wow, I can't believe I got 0. Also 88 points is very impressive. Excellent score Crimson Ghost. We should all agree to kick in $5 or $10 this year to the winner. And let's have a cutoff date for getting the picks in.
