Default 10-130 pull vid I just made

I was bracing the camera against the steerign wheel. THis was out in the middle of the EMPTY desert, (on a close course... *cough*).... I just got back from a cruise. I like to get the cruising out of my system before I go home and drink.

I wanted to just do a 0-60 pull.. but 'my throttle got stuck' .. aka... my foot was stuck to the floor..

Also serves as dual purpose for the new TSP Rumbler CB I put in a couple weeks ago.

^ These roads out here are PRIME for high speed runs. 40+ miles of straight level and WIDE OPEN!! I've taken it to 155 before, but I don't want to do it on these tires. They have flat spots and vibrate at 65.. I didn't even notice it this time, tho.. I don't think it'd trust it at those speeds.. too much can happen if something does.
