Great to see you too, Gregg. Glad you had a safe trip home. Just a quick update - I spent a little time adjusting the front suspension for ride height and toe-in this evening.

She's just about ready for The Ohio Mile.  Just a quick shake-down trip around the neighborhood.  There were no mosquitos in the area after this drive-around.

Ah. great, Steve.  You're driving your own-built race car.  I suppose the lady in the pink hat stood there staring with wonder and awe when you went past her.

Corngratulations on getting the car ready to run on the racetrack this weekend.  Be safe, go fast, and HAVE FUN! :cheers: :cheers:

Speaking of this weekend, see the post I'm about to make on this Forum.

That lady's husband (My Crew Chief) was actually driving the Rampage on that shake-down.  I was the guy behind the camera.  She was probably just shaking her head.

If I heard correctly: 121.xxx on his first pass, which is 16mph faster than the B'ville record.

Way to go Steve! :cheers:

I must have heard correctly, he has two 123.xxx runs and I may missed a couple.

No mosquitoes at W-ton today I'd bet.   :cheers:
