Default Short Video of Nova test runs

I finally got everything worked out and seems to be running good.
Its on 15psi from 2nd gear. Not the best video but its all i could do for now. Im hoping to take it to the track this week and see what it does. (weather permitting)
It looks like the 4 wheel drums are going to definatley need go this winter.
