Default ** BA02SS in the 8's **

I finally got to run my car down the track Friday and again on Sunday at the rental. Thanks to Omar this is the only good quality video I have for now. It's a bottom 9 second pass from Friday night, but I came back out Sunday and got her in the 8's. I still have some suspension tweaking to get more from my 60' times and start hitting it harder. Thanks to a great group of friends for helping me see this out, it's been a nightmare of assorted issues.

Wow Kevin, awesome time. I know you've been fighting at this for a long time. I'm glad you've finally reached this milestone. All that hard work has paid off. Now go enjoy the car.

Thanks Mark, yeah it wasn't as bad as I'm sure it seemed from the outside. The car handles great. I'll get the suspension and 60' down here pretty soon.
