Well I really need a good camara man it turns out. My best runs of the year were all really crappy filming and these are the only two I thought were descent enough to transfer to file.

Here is one of my time trial runs at the NHRA Import Nationals 2005 (last year).

I dialed 12.2 all day and took 3rd place in the brackets sandbagging at the end of every run. After it was said and done I wished I was in the Heads up class because I would have done well. Erik W. took 1st that day with an 11.6 and I had a lot left in the car.

This next one is one of my runs on Oct 5th, 2005 which was the last test and tune of the year. It was really cold out and I was having hookup issues. Tires weren't always grabbing before I hit my 8500RPM rev limiter. You can see I bounce off it in my 1st-2nd gear shift in the movie. Good launch, but the tires spin throughout the whole gear. Special thanks to Erron S. for the commentary and good filming. Unforutunatly he didn't do the next run after this which was my 11.82@117mph run. My wife did and it's mainly of the sky.

None this year :(

Finally got the engine back together after rebuilding it during the spring. Got it started last Saturday and slowly been tuning it in my spare time. Looking to go to Bandimere in the next 2 weeks but I've been so busy recently we'll have to see.

Here is some pics of the rebuild and what I've got into it so far this year. Still got a few other additions to go, but the motor is done.
