Yeah its all fun steve and mike are two of the coolest guys I've met. They put up with all my trash talking knowing they can lay the smack down when steve gets the car to stop trying to backflip and mike gets his to stop popping its cherry everytime. And the best part is when we go places we have a one in three chance of winning. Because if steve mike or mark win we all win. Thats pretty good odds.

Congratulation on the 7 second pass, I knew you would get it there. The 5.1- 1/8th should give them fits at the Valley. Do I see a 200# bonus for you

Thanks...gotta throw another 100#'s on already at Valley, plus it's gonna take a 5.0x or better to win most of the rest of those races I believe.
