Brian and Celia,

It was nice to meet you. I really like your car and the color is great. Any changes need to be made now that you have run it? Are you going to run World Finals?

I love the USA. How much longer will we be a free nation?

Asking questions is one's only way of getting answers.

The rational person lets verified facts form or modify his opinion.  The ideologue ignores verified facts which don't fit his preconceived opinions.

Nice to finally meet you too, Tom. We had a few new car gremlins to contend with through out the week. We have a couple of things to fix/change . The main thing is HP.  Had a pretty lofty goal of a record and/or a red hat and went with less HP then I thought I was getting. We are going to hook up with a famous engine guy 1 1/2 hous north of me so we can remedy the problem (and he has a dyno so we'll know what we're getting). All in all (after I took a step back and reviewed the week) I was pretty happy to go 229 on the third pass ever on a new car put together in less than 4 months. It goes straight and feels safe. The plan is to be back at WF but right now we have lots of RV's to fix first.
