The weekend was awesome.  It didn't start well with exploding the front fender of the ZX-10 on the first pass.  We bumped our APS/G-1000/4 two times out to 201.722.  We also bumped our MPS/G-650/4 record two times out to 182.09537.  Strange thing is our APS/G-650/4 record from September 2010 is 182.09537.  I think we made a total of 19 passes.  7 on the 600 with 4 over 180mph and 12 on the 1000 with 6 over 200 mph and 4 at 199 mph.  It was great to see everyone again.

Gotta agree with hitting your shift points right. My first run in Kix's truck I went about 180 shifting at 8k+. The other runs were right around 193mph shifting at 9200. Our rear gear is a little tall for the 28" tires though so hopefully in October we can try for 200 with a little lower gear.

  We had a great time at Maxton first the crew helped set up the coarse on Friday during the day. Then everyone waited until well after 6PM to set up the finish line timers and set out the cones along the shut down lane seems the security group is not very friendly towards the ECTA I give Joe and Keith a lot of credit for putting up with their junk.
 
 I ran my flathead Ford powered Lakester hoping for a 150 MPH pass to get another check on my helmet. On my first pass I did it running 154.319 next run in the heat of the day she ran 150.727 both runs resulted in records. Once again I learned a little more about the car were looking forward to running latter in the season but next up will be Loring.
  Here's the 154 run its a blast sitting just inches off the ground kind of like a go cart on steroids.

We like to get our money's worth :)

Just wait until 2012, if OHIO is the new venue, that is only 6 hours for us.  We will hit every meet !

22 passes!?  That is awesome!  I would have kept going had someone not pulled me off the bike by the sweaty scruff of my neck!  It was a fantastic weekend, and I'm looking forward to next time!
