He was in the Blue Z28 that I thought was harbaugh's (Travis')
He was rolling in with it on the trailor and I said I thought that it was Travis coming. Remember? Well if not, he's a cool guy man.
You should meet him!

Thanks man!
12.1 is not bad, At least it went low 12's! I know you got 11's in it. Car looked strong. I saw it launch but didn't catch the time.

Well.. I wasn't much help, you figured it out. Now get those wires soldered and re-ran and you should be good! If you need help let me know!

I'm still cleaning rubber out from the tread of my shoes! lol

The guys at RPM are all great, and if there were a business that went the extra mile to show their appreciation for their customers, no one did it better than Rodney, TJ, Todd, and the rest of the crew.

Thank you.

Thanks Guy and Gals for coming out, I think we had a great turn-out. I ran my new personal best 9.72 at 143 in the yellow Z06. Make sure and mark your calanders for next year and we will do it again.

I think I might have ran you in the BGM Z if you were the one asking me if you had to wear a helmet or not. I didn't see what you ran, but I know that was my worst run because my car started to break loose on the 1-2 shift. I do know the car sounded good atleast.

Congrats on your new personal best... And I'll be there again next year. I had a blast!

Also congrats to EVERYONE who ran their personal bests. I know at least 7 or 8 of you ran better than you thought or at least got your PB. Good Job Guys!

Well, the rental was a success. I'll be putting some pictures of it on our website soon. No records were broke, but many had their personal bests. I had my first 150 mph pass. The quickest et was from John Reese with his "Barbie Vette". I don't remember the number right now, but think was about a 9.2x. We had around 130 cars there, and only 2 broke. Jason, our automatic builder, had a nitrous backfire that ended his day of racing. He wasn't too upset, because he has a reason to change his intake combination now. I think everyone had a great time and we got to meet some old customers and some future ones.
