A big thanks for a fun weekend!

We had a great time at Mid America last weekend! Even though we had trouble getting down the track under power (a little too much power for the track but we'll have a plan for next year) and got beat both runs we had a great time and were treated very well by the personnel at Mid America Motorplex. The turnout of friends and family was AWESOME and overwhelming. Thank you!!! The track manager was happy with the show we put on for the fans and he said he wants us back for next year - maybe twice.
Randy was taking pictures and Kurt shot some video so I'll get those posted as soon as I get them.
I want to extend a special thank you to Dan and Joanie Russell for inviting us, Mid America Motorplex for having a great show and including us, all my friends and family for spending the time with us, my great crew for all their hard work and most of all my wife, partner and best friend Susan for her patience, love and support.

Beeee There!

The car is loaded in the trailer and we are ready to roll North late Friday afternoon. So far the forecast looks pretty good. Lets hope it stays that way.
The track record at MidAmerica is a 4.16. We've been running around 4.10 at the 1/8th mile all year with a soft tuneup and have run as fast as 4.01 this spring with a little more in it so if everything goes well and the track is sticky maybe Sunday afternoon we can set a new track record. 3.99 at 200 mph. That would be about right!
They have posted a new flier at the website www.midamericamotorplex.com under the "drag strip" link and you can also listen to their radio ad from there.

I hope you all can make it out!
