Thanks to everyone that waved or stopped by my trailer.
Sorry I didn't have my usual hot dogs & cooler full of cheap pop.
Been very busy getting all the little things done after being away for 3 years. Trailer was a dump & unorganized,
frigging hard to work & find anything, but we got there. Still have some work left, but it ran.
No full pass', but it was nice being back. License updated, chassis cert done, I'm ready to get some full pass'.

I seen you make a pass at the end of the night, me and big mac were standing off to the right of the starting line watching behind the concrete barrier. Car was skating a bit down the track but looked good.

Radiator cap blew open, that was me trying to stay off the wall. My own fault, I use an extra high pressure cap,
& it was over 10 years old. Water was only 175 at that point, so it obviously blew due to age.
Water hit the windshield, track, everywhere. Couldn't see, hot water, cold windshield.
I was shocked it ran 8.60 with chutes out & engine clicked at 5.5 seconds.

Wife was out of town, I wish I could find who was taking all the photo's. I could see flashes every couple of seconds.

I'll ask around if anyone got some shots for you. That really explains the skating down the track part, that car sure looks sharp in person.

Haha. It is quite a ride. Even with the front lowered and strapped down, it STILL pulls the front wheel up in the air. The track was working awesome and I ran my best times last night. It was good seeing you and shootin' the ****. Take it easy.
