Your lucky you didn't blow the motor to pieces last night.Supercharged motor + 100 degree heat =
Probly the worst day of the year to run at NED.

Thank you, 68ss, it was great to meet you last night.

As for the tech inspection well, from the start they gave me a hard time. As soon as i pulled up to tech, this kid with long hair was giving me an attitude, then the "track official" started in with me. They werent going to let me run becuase I didnt have a blow down tube for my bottle, or padding on my rollcage, and my helmet wasnt snell approved After I told them to kiss my ***, its a street car, and this was a huge waste of my time, I was about to leave and load it on the trailer again when out of nowhere, Geroge came to the rescue. He ran back to his house, got me some padding (a noodle you use in the pool) his helmet, and his blow down tube (BIG THANKS TO GEORGE) Well all in all, it was a good night. Ran my best time to date 11.83@122

AGAIN, BIG THANKS TO GEORGE. Thanks a lot brother...I really appreciated it..

Rob
