on that pass friday night, i was so pumped up with the rush of actually making all the way down the track that i forgot to throw the chute...i stopped pretty well any way, but you could see the rotor glow at the end...lol

saturday i made 2 more hits and went a 8.79 @ 158 and a 8.70 @ 160...
on those 2 i did use the chute though..

i guess on friday the adrenaline was really pumping though....it was a good night..

I just ran a bracket race against a mustang. 8.5 @ 163.

8 seconds at that speed is moving out in a truck.
