Congrats to Mike and the whole Cato family. You guys worked your asses off this weekend, and it showed. In a matter of time you guys will have all the bugs worked out, and it will be a handful to anybody in the other lane. Congrats again on the record. Had a great time being there with you guys.

Hey Mike, is this you on your 'good' run?

That's probably the only wheelie pic I caught that day...
PM me your email if you want the full size.

It was good to see the car back out on the track again. A lot of effort has gone into that car to get it where it is today.

Major kudos to you Mike, Edgar, Larry and all involved.

I've got the video of the last hard launch. I'll try to capture it and post it as a pic.

Good luck to ya'll!

Nice car.

I saw some of my friends who were set on going turbo want to build a nitrous motor now after seeing that car run.

Congrats to all of you.. Edgar I need to call you about some patents that you maybe in violation of

Im sure you were doing backflips after the pass.. Hell even I was when I saw the pass on video I almost did a back flip. I remember countless nights when were not working on my car, we'd be getting the black car ready to roll out!! I remember sitting in the car the helping Mike work on the FAST system. You guys have a bad *** car, and Mike, Nick, Paul, etc.. have put ALOT of work into this car. There is no doubt in my mind it will shock the world when it resets the record!

Thanks everyone! I have launched that car in my head about 28,463 times since that last pass! It's such an awesome feeling that it's so hard to forget. If anyone has any other pics or videos please send them to me or post them here.

I just wanted to thank everyone that was there and had a hand in helping us that day. Pretty much running all ends of an automotive shop basically by myself takes a toll on me physically. Then trying to get ready for a race at the same time and running in the event is like another full time job in itself. I'm ready to do it again and I sure hope you are too! Robert, Josh, Edgar, Larry, Steven, Brandon, Roy, Ernie, Rick and Kyle, I owe you guys a . Well Josh, you're limited to 2. Those damn Crown and Cokes are expensive!

We need 2 of these races per year in SA.
