Think I'm going to take my V out for a few passes. This will be the first time on the strip since going twin turbo, any local Houston people want to join?

Damn! I would love to come see that beast in action, but I will be at home taking care of the wifey (She had surgery last week & can't move around too much.) Have fun & keep it off the walls.

I haven't decided yet. It'll be a few months before I get anything.

I put my BFG drag radials on last night and brought the V to work today, she's ready for the track. My brother is bringing a digital video and still camera. Should have some good footage posted up tomorrow.

Anyone else going to make it?

Only footage I got was a nice smokey burnout followed by a loud POP on the launch. The diff case looks fine, pretty sure I snapped a half shaft. Bummer
