Congrats Mark! Now you need beer at the LSX shootout, that will lure Madman over so we can see the 1.2X sixty instead of those 1.38's!!

Kurt

PS: bring a spare rack just in case!

Yea, almost called you after a 5.23 pass that I pedaled early beacuse it started to power wheelie but I made an adjustment to the front extension added a little weight and that did the trick on the 5.07.

Appreciate the advice the day before! Hope to fine tune it at Milan in two weeks.
Let me go over the chassis at Memphis so you can turn it up!!

Well I guess your right for the most part, BUT I handed my *** to myself the last two times we met......remember "law of averages". I obviously have your back with JR but this isn't John Force racing if we meet on the ladder
