Thanks everyone. I will get a "What I did Last Weekend" story put together I just wanted you guys to get the quick results.
I am so proud of Scott and the work he did putting this car together. Then the whole team for figuring out a new racecar in 3-1/8 mile attempts speaks highly of the crew I have.
I also want to thank our very own Tommy Howell. He has always helped me whenever I called. He told me something a couple of years ago, that really helped also.
Rapid {Just lucky to make "Good Guesses" last night}

With so many things that can and do go wrong on a first time out of the box hot-rod it a credit to y'alls planning and teamwork to have a day like that
I'm sure it felt good load that jalopy up and drag her back to the shop at days end with mission completed.

Sounds good Rapid. Boy, you sure must be able to talk fast to be able to say all thiose things to the car in just a couple of seconds!!!!
Trust me Rocky....(which I "know" you know this too
)...There is a LOT that can be said, thought and Done, in that brief few seconds of a pass
....(caffine and a good sugar rush, help as well
)

As the other member of this board who lives in the Eddyville area, I found out about the Nitro Madness test runs after another commitment was made.
My friend Bob Betzer, who now owns the speed shop here in town went 6.80 on his first full pass in 20 years. Then he went 3 rounds before a red light got him. He told me Randy did a heck of a job on the 4.24 pass.
