And old pro stock driver Rickie Smith is the wheel man. Very cool.

The Middle East is no longer a land of camel trains and nomadic tribes, the Arabs must be the most modern people on the planet. Bahrain being a long time oil rich country, why am I not surprised they have such a drag strip?

True, I think my neighbors, wankers that they are (http://www.rhondatf747.com/), could give them a run for their money.

There are over 1200 helicopters in the Dubai metro area alone, more than any other place in the world!

But they all have an APU installed.

I guess so. It's a top fuel dragster. Not exactly a fair race.

Hello.

The UAE has NO extradition with the USA. ;)
In fact, the UAE may look at some types of convictions in the US with favor.
Spouse abuse and rape are regularly reviewed and dismissed, granting limited citizenship with a clean slate.
US police officers are regularly deported after having spent time in jail.
Police work for another country without being cleared first is considered spying.
Unlike Saudi Arabia, in the UAE nearly everyone can carry a weapon, join the military first. ;)
Joining the UAE military is as simple as joining the "White Army" but is by invitation only.

If you'll motor over to http://www.ls1tech.com (http://www.ls1tech.com/) you'll see several Kuwaitis and Arabs posting there.
