Congrats again Mark, you guys have put together a cool combo. I've got my fingers crossed that Brian (Fireball) is next!

Yes....and no way, lol. Tri-State can't hardly hold the high HP/small tire combo....not to mention the short shutdown and grass median,
We will be at Kilkare next Sunday for the Outlaw Street Madness series. That's only 45 minutes away...gates open at 10AM.

Thanks Shawn, I'm very happy but it's wearing off cause we want to see the reliablilty of many 7's. Hope to push it a little harder next time out, hopefully conditions are good enough to advance the performance. We'll keep ya posted. You guys need to get Brian in the 7's....I'm sure his head is where mine has been at since last year!

Thanks John....Just want to try and sneak up on the next tenth (7.7x) for starters at maybe closer to 190ish....I don't think the set-up has 200mph in it but if everything stays together I will keep pushing it

Hey ...you may be gone but not forgotten...your still on the shirts, lol. And yes you did crew at one race but we have a three race minumum for maintaining crew status. If I stopped feeding the crew they won't have the energy to help anymore.

Congrats on your runs Mark, glad you finally got that 7 sec slip. Your whole team deserves it!

Not to hijack your thread but it looks like this years LSX shoot out is going to have even closer races. Just know I will be looking out my review mirror the whole weekend with this little ride. (all in good fun guys, we only have a few months until the race so I figured I would start the **** talking). Lets try and have a 16 car field this year!
