That is good, congrats to Blaine and PSI. Flaco fought traction issues today, time for a AMS 1000.

Yes, no matter what he did today the truck went up in smoke. There will be a few changes, and we will be there in March.

Patrick made the pass in a different truck. The AMS 1000 is a bad *** controller. Had one in my truck and loved it.

Enjoyed hanging out with Flaco at the track today. Badass truck for sure. Great combo of parts. Congrats on the great speed.

Tyler I thought you were up with us on the line when it made one of its passes. You should have heard peoples reaction when that bitch went into boost!

Congrats to both Flaco and Blaine!

I don't think anyone at the mile since 2004 has seen anyone light up the tires like you did Flaco and stay in it for half a mile.

Also it was great to finally meet you and hang out in the staging lanes.

Flaco tried to upload the video of yesterdays action last night, but it would not for some reason. He said when he gets home he would get both days video uploaded.

You guys should have hit me up, could have had you by timing/scoring maybe for some footage.

L did go 193. Sorry to see the probs people were having. I know the PSI truck was spraying coolant his last pass. Just couldn't get a good run together. All the trucks were VERY impressive!

Yea we may have some cool pics of your truck. Still getting them all hosted. I'll post up a link when they're up. Believe we have you burning them past the 1/4 mile in a photo or two.
