Default Pic of Tom the Roofer from Saturday!!!

Here is a pic of Tom from Saturday. He is a pic of me as well. I love my new Wolfe Sway Bar. Launches so even now. I have a video of Tom as well if someone can host it for him.

I was only able to capture the pic from a video. Next time at the track I am going to get a high resolution pic. I am sure he wants one as well....

Tom will chime in with what he ran. The DA was around 2000' with a 10 -20 mph head wind... I was only able to muster up a 11.13@121 with a tranny that didn't want to shift into 3rd. My 3-4 clutch packs are gone.

PS any times?
Thanks Brian, We look forward to seeing you at the track too.

Times? My run was at about 2:20pm and Marks about 3:30pm both this past Sunday afternoon

I'm fighting an ignition problem. My times were lame because I was breaking up at 7200 rpms just past the 1000'. I couldn't shift past 7100 either.

Best was 10.01 at 123

worst 10.08 at 132

both letting off the throttle.

Bummer

2001 -- if you can E-mail the video I can host it davidbr57105@yahoo.com

Tom - If I did have mine own NBM SS as wall paper I would be using your's. Outstanding. I can only hope mine is half as good.

I have no clue what the problem with the pics are? They were there earlier. If I go to edit it shows that they should be there as an attachment... I put a link to the video in the first post...
