Default Testing the 295's for Memphis = 195 MPH

We got a chance to finally get out and do some testing on the 295's for Memphis. Was a tack rental day here in Canada. It was the first time out on the 295's and was not sure what to expect from them. They worked alot better than i thought they were going to . I set my new personal best at 7.75 @ 194.77 2nd run and then back to back went 7.73 @191.54.
I would really like to thank Wade Stevens and Don Bailey for yesterday, Don thanks again for working your majic touch

Yes that is for sure Don does know his way around the cars to make them fly. If Wade doesn't go my car will not be going either LOL. He is the one that keeps me flying here.
