Lol, I know, mine too. But ain't that the fun part? If 4.11's end up being too much maybe you should meet in the middle with some 3.89's

Good to hear you've got it ready Chris. Will was out of town this week and I didn't get the roll bar in, he does my welding for me. I won't get it in before 17th but that is ok. I'll not be ready to make the passes I want, but the vert will still make it down the track.

Yes sir I'm locked and loaded! I started to go back tonight and get alittle practice in. I would have kicked *** in the brackets tonight. Heres my 5 passes. Check out these reaction times
react.==et=====mph
.011 11.44 120.94
.049 11.52 121.52
.069 11.50 120.43
-.055 11.54 120.04
.040 11.46 121.92
That last pass I put my short belt on and it must not have been on right cause it threw it off somewhere. Guess that where the mph came from
