Default Time for a little Wednesday night Cecil action
Gonna be heading down tomorrow to make my licensing passes. 1fastbird and Fireball are coming down to sign off on my passes and make fun of me for being slow. Anyone else heading down?

I plan on hot lapping the first 2 or 3 passes to help get them in. Shouldn't be to bad since they are only partial passes

I don't have any other waste gate springs as I got this one used and didn't have any extra springs with it. I think it should at least mph over 135 on a full pass

I'm confident you will get it done tonight. Then you can look forward to weekly National Dragster magazines to show up at your door.
