Rain, rain, go away!

The rain's gone - its the darned water that's the problem . . .  :|

The radio broadcast from the USFRA today did not announce any times from course 2 due to equipment issues.
Due to this, I'm posting before Steve to let you folks know how his Rampage did.

He ran a 131.xxx on a 106.xxx record and the truck is in impound.

He got to impound after I left so I did not get any pics of this MAJOR accomplishments.

CONGRATS STEVE and GOOD LUCK tomorrow!

I saw this pic on the USFRA FB page showing impound and was wondering how he did.  Hit it hard in the morning!

Steve, good luck on that return run! Here's to you!!!!!!
With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead. -- RFC 1925
