What a rush. Still smiling!
The car is quick, me not so much hehehe. Managed to not break it which is good. In fact, I don't think we put a wrench on it all night other than to check the coolant bottle.
Gonna need lots of seat time until I get my routine down. Going to have to slow it down some for a while at least until I get used to how hard it launches. This think is a monster. Drives like a dream! It is gonna be one quick little fish!
Working on a list of to do things before we leave for the Thaw. Gonna be a busy week. Hopefully the weather holds out.

What a night.. I was lucky enough to see it birds eye view, I rolled him thru the waterbox and stopped him , waited for the starter to give me the sign, and I gave GTS DAVE the finger to lightem up, His smile comming thur the windshield and under his helmet was brighter than the Light on his Tach and it was very dark out, then I walked him right up to the stage beems, gave him a final look with a thumbs up.. The BOOBLE HEAD Shaking inside the car was priceless, and I mean that In a nice way, I knew he was nervous as hell, I'll never forget that headshake and look in his eyes....Very Very Cool..reat Job Dave...
