About 100 entries with lite wind in the morning and later in the day 20 mph winds. Top speed was a 220 range, no spins. Waiting for more info.

Just got home. Still putting stuff away. Fogie ran 220 and went out the back I hear. Davidson & Leggett ran a checkout pass ~190. Great looking car of course.

Several records. No new dirty 2 club.

I heard he never shifted in to 6th gear either... :wink:

Points to make up, I "he" needs to be able to come back and run that class at a later time... :-D

I was wondering about that he has always ridden the turbo. I hope I can be going fast when I am his age. :cheers:

Congrats to all! :cheers: 
We were still working on the truck on Sunday.  We are missing a critical ECM wiring harness to complete the install, and hope we find one soon or no SW for us.  First event we missed since we started LSR last year.  :-(

I could see the results earlier today, but now I can not. Am I the only one having this problem?
