I'll publicly add my CONGRATS for the 9. That will be something to build on during the off-season. You've got a great start to a long racing career ahead of you.

It was great to see old friends and meet Chris Fletcher. Chris , I hope you continue to bring that awesome car to the MAKO events next season. It is a very nice addition to the class.

WOOT! grats man on the 9second realm. I hope to join you very soon with my ride. And then start spraying it and maybe dip a bit closer to that 8 sec range. But damn nice looking run.

grats!

Thanks, I only got to make one 1/4 mile pass before the power went out at the track. It was kinda surging down the track and if you listen closely you can hear it in the video. But was VERY HAPPY with the car, It ran good. I think some new slicks would help alot. I have been running these for 2 years and bought them with 15 passes on them.

Good luck with your car :D
