Default Casper Is ready to test

The new Lenco trans has been in Casper for quite some time. The stars have finally aligned to the point we can take it out. We will be at Martin MI 131 dragway on Wensday Aug 3rd at 9:00am. If you want to stop by send me a PM or e-mail. If you can, say a little prayer to the 1/4 mile gods for good luck!
