on those 2 i did use the chute though..

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

Flaco.. Congrats.. job well done. And will all that's been said, and all the hard work and focus is paying off.

Just thought that I'd let you know that I was speaking with Scott Singleton from HRP and he mentioned that you were impressing the NHRA guys.

Now go rip the tar off the damn road and send a postcard when you land!!!

p.s. thanks for the head-n-lifter install!! Chariot is running pretty
