its a good flash, but at the track you would need a remote strobe unit that is capable of higher then a 1/250s synk speed in order to caprute drag racing action at night.

That's what I wanted to see.. the standard flash isn't really good (which comes with the camera)

Think about it.. the NHRA SS class (back 30 years) a 10.3 would have been awesome!

Amazing how things change.. technology.. etc.

Congrats on the new times and it was good to talk to you at cartek tonight. Hopefully when you have some time we can try to put my car on a diet. I was looking at some rear sway bars tonight.

Congrats Alex. 10.41 is ridiculous for a car that drives all over and back. Great work.
We were like to little kids last night,

No problem my man. With you power all we have to do now is drop some 'unneeded' parts out of it will fly!

It will fly either way, but with some parts laying in your basement and now in the car it will fly higher and faster. LOL

Just to show that this CARTEK setup can do it in any weather. I just came back from the QTP EFI event which took place in 0' to +30' DA with the threat of rain.

Best pass of the day: 10.47 @ 131.37 Thats right boys and girls, a new best MPH in positive DA. Next pass, my MPH was 131.48. Another new best MPH in air that is 'worse' then it was on Wednesday.

Nice work Alex. Good shifting too!

Don't be so humble, you also won the QTP Quick-8 Heads-Up event!

I had a good time today.

They are actually, but fortunately the guys they ratted out and are hiding from don't have internet access.
