Congrats on the 7.98 George. You've been getting years of crap from some real azzholes. You deserve all the credit for getting the job done! Watching for your next passes to be even faster!

Jeff Kauffman just ran a 5.83 @ 243mph in the dragster

New record I believe?

The record was 5.841 @ 244.29 mph


Probably still has a lot in it.

Today is a warmup. Tomorrow should be some good action. Boss Bird to make first run tomorrow.

I missed the Raven, heard he made a good pass well into the 7’s?

Raven ran a 7.66 in super pro timed runs BUT only ran a 8.10 in The Frantic Four timed runs.

Stop by tomorrow if you get a chance. Always fun to put a face to a screen name.
