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'.

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.

Thanks Matt, Thanks Spencer. Thanks X. Schedule, I have no idea. I've been gone so long, all my regular help moved on.
Wife is being a pain in the butt, I'm lucky I got out at all.
