Wink cage is certified and i am certifiable, lol!!!

thanks to Rob and Roman and the wife! cage is certed to 7.50's and I can tell a cop the next time i get pulled over that I have a license to speed

in all the times i have raced i have never been nervous, be it at an event or t'n't. but not today!!!! i was nervous as ****, knowing that i had to not screw up, lol! well i started to goof up on my shifts, then i got the cage certed, snuck a smoke (i recently quit smoking) and then started to unwind.

car went 9.84 and 9.83 at 140.1 mph.....grannyshifting! lmao!!! not the best 60's but oh well it worked! i have to refigure the susp. out after lowering the rear of the car over the winter. i just thought to myself to slow things down, other wise i probably should've taken a downer

oh what a feeling to feel like a cartoon character once again!!! it was amazing, all the way through 1st and 2nd, i could feel the front end almost pulling off of the ground pulling hard on the limiters, 2nd gear wheelies were also the norm i was told, lmao!!!

i wil watch the video once i am done with this and hopefully the Leafs advance to the next round! Go Leafs Go!!!

Hi Taner,

Where you by chance running today at Mid Michigan? If so, your car looks very clean considering the track time it's seen. Looks good! You where pitted along side staging I thought?

See Ya,
Jim

Congrats on the cert man!

I have a few friend that have offered to let me drive their 9 sec cars to get my comp license, I may go and do it this summer.

Hey Taner when did you cert your cage? Before 2004? All cert's after the Dec 31 2003 with the basic 10/12 point cage is only legal to 8.50's. 25.5 spec is needed to go 7.50's now. If your cage was cert before 2004 then it's legal to 7.50's until the cert expires.
