We sure had a good time. This year's track time was probably more typical than last year's. We got up to 4 or 5 runs in about 3 hours. Hope that we will have more people in the future. Thanks to everyone that did come out. I think the "Bus Race" was a crowd favorite.

Thanks again to all involved, we had a great time!
With a LOT left in it, I ran:
ET- 15.3299
MPH- 85.84
RT- .0031
I only made one pass, spun like crazy in 1st, so, grabbed second, bogged a little, and drove on through. I could feel it sputtering a little, I still have plenty of tuning to do, and was shifting around 5500-6000 rpm. I didn't want to hurt anything, I had to make it home too. I just wanted to get a "baseline" to work with.
