Take a trip to the right coast in the fall and lay down a big time number.

Agree, play'n on ECMs home turf mid to late fall could be the best place for impressive numbers...
However, considering the conditions I think Mike did quite well this weekend... 8 years ago many of us would have been say'n NFW anyone could run E-heads NA to those numbers at his weight, let alone in this weekends conditions.

Mike thanks for showin what continual improvements can do when you are willing to keep at it. Wont surprise me if next good condition race you do, you meet or exceed what you hoped for this weekend.

Mike's car has way more potential than what was seen this past weekend. The weather conditions and track surface were not friendly for small tire high horsepower cars. Even some of the big tire cars were having trouble getting off the line this weekend. I honestly believe that once Mike gets a handle on what the car wants and has a good track to run on. You will see his car run 8 teens and twenty's consistently at 165+ mph at his current weight. No Mike I am not picking on your weight LOL. I mean the car and driver weight combined. Good job Mike, Car looks awesome and runs even better!!!!!


Dave I sent you a PM!!!!

you too Jack. Was great comparing notes and such...


And thanks to wall the others that stopped by and introduced yourselves. Too many to name but I really appreciated all the support and well wishing. I try to reciprocate the visits as much as I can but the car consumes gobs of time......And this year we worked a little more than normal!

As much as I am not entitled to say it. ..EHTTFMF.
