    Congratulations to me.

     



    Well, it took longer than I had expected but I finally got my second 9 second pass I needed for my license. I even managed to back it up with 2 more.

    9.931 @133.29
    9.915 @131.09
    9.905 @133.32

    The wait is finally over, and it was an absolute blast. Now that it's behind me, I can finally work on my reaction times. As soon as I get the videos uploaded, I'll post them.

    Oh ya, and nothing broke! WOOHOO!!

    Thanks Walt

    Thanks Troglodyte

    Mountain motor, hmmm, now there's a thought.

    Thanks Spraytech, but I prefer hottop, besides I don't think this thing will float.

    Thanks drg84

    Thanks Streets, my embarassing RT's are in the .800 to .900 range. Practice, practice, practice.

    I found a guy that makes glass bumpers for my car. Not one of his most sought-after parts. They only weigh 4lbs each. I have no idea what the original ones weigh, but I'm sure it will shave a few lbs off the 3624 it's at now.

    Now, where did I put those "big" jets........
