ohh yea thanks alot for letting everyone know you were going. i wouldn't have wanted to go or anything.
It was difficult to apply any power in the 1/8th.
Short wheelbase and top-end gearing... not the best set-up for the 1/8th mile.
I was short shifting around 7K to avoid excessive spin and wheelies.
I'll get better... got to start somewhere.

However, it was still a blast.





oh... and sorry about not inviting everyone last week...

It's on for this week though! Come on out!
