The car is running great, unfortunatelythe new lexan window rule is kicking our donkey!!  everytime we run the driver side window blows out! This new rule has really slowed us down.  we think we got it fixed and will run again in the morning. |

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to slide in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "Holy $hit, what a ride!"

We made it to impound on our first pass through the 3. The bad news is that our windows are still flexing out some, preventing us from going farther down the course. We went through the 2 1/4 at 256 and JL222 was backing out of the throttle because of the window, he slowed to 255 in the mile. The data logger shows he was goin over 280 some where between the 2 1/4 and the 3. Hopefully record return run will be better. |

One thing I didn't mention was in line behavior. We are next to a nice diesel rig with a motorcycle trailer on the back and while my dad was in the car suited up and buckled in the guy starts his rig and let's it idle. All the fumes are going inside our car and we asked him to shut if off and explained why. The guy we asked said we are cooling the cab with the A.C.!!! WTF!! That didn't go over very well with me and let this guy know it! He did eventually turn his truck off. Unbelievable how some people think. Sorry for the rant. |

Good Deal!
Some how I missed your car every time I went into the pits. I was hoping to stop and say hello to you guys again this year.
