Default A video of my 9 sec pass

I could tell everyone that it was scarier to watch then drive. I had my tire pressure down at 10psi due to bad track prep on Fridays at LID the track had gust's of sand. With the delay as soon as the spray hits it’s like another launch. I am sure you can see it in the video. We will be making some changes for the 15th and then go for the gold. I feel confident that we are finally moving in the right direction with the combo and I am looking to put up a serious number.

Nice pass could see that thing was swaying left and right. Pretty ghetto looking track what do you expect for prep?

Contrary to popular belief, those weren't ET Streets. They were ice skates.

Nice run. Be careful though.
