Thumbs up TurboRob/ LMR goes 4.68 at 164+ (Video added!)

Congrats to Rob Valden, and all the LMR crew. Rob ran a 4.70 at 164+, then backed it up with a 4.68 @ 164.+. From talking with them the car has alot of room to play with. I got a good video that I will post when I get it d/l'ed of the camera.

Congrats again guys!

First off I want to thank Josh Ledford of LMR for all the help and many many hours of work he has put into this car and tuning of this beast! He is the best crew cheif a driver could have. He is the best as it comes! From knowing track conditions to, the tuning of the BS3 and boost controller he is the man. Also want to thank the rest of my crew Jordan Watkins of LMR and Robert Fullmer the chassis wizard on setting this car up to be one of the badest in the country. Major thanks to Steve Petty/Eric Dillard @ Proline Race Engines, Jimmy Blackmon of Straight Line Race cars for building the baddest car that could be built. LMR for taking care of the day to day updates and work that needs to be done. All this could not be done if not for my Dad and Uncle H who give the oppertuinty to run a car like this! Thanks to all!

Next year will be one hell of a season, and some great racing around the country!
