    A new low point .... killed another transmission today

    Turn up the sounds, it add to the effect ... Several told me they heard it from rather far away when it went :(

    Defying gravity too... Is there not a stronger transmission you can use?

    you know the issue Greg, you don't know you need something stronger until you figure out you need it ;) most other options will suck a bunch of power off this combo.

    thanks Ed, and yet again, not a F'ing drop of oil on the track :( Ron was up by the restroom and said he heard me burnout, then the boom. I wish I could see this stuff myself :) Wifey had just shown up and shot that on her cell phone, not sure why it didn't catch the initial boom well, but it did a good job of catching the rotating carnage after that.

    last pass was a 11.14 ...

    I was most happy with the MPH tonight on the high boost tune up. 100 mph in the eigth is great for my parts.

    Troy - The best shifting thing i've ever owned ... It's like butter, just click, click, click under power .... the biggest peice of trash you ever drove lully gagging around ;)

    Mike - No spray tonight, the bottle is empty (I sure wish I had some for the last pass ;) )

    Ed - Track was not there tonight, I was on the edge, best I thought it would hold for launch and it was spinning. Any more it woulda blown them off, less it wouldnt of been there for 60'. Frank shot a few cell phone videos, we will see when I get them uploaded.
