We made our first passes down the track today in the 65. We didn't win but had a great time getting comfortable with the car. Made 4 passes today on the car and each time we saw improvements with the new combo. Engine and Driver.

The best pass today was 9.75 at 137. With a little more tuning we may see a mid 9 second slip soon.

I want to say a big thank you to Bob George and the rest of the BGR crew. Without their help and Bobs kindness letting me pilot his car I may not have made a pass this season.


I must say that the car AWESOME. It is the smoothest car I have ever driven.

That's all I have to update for now. There are great things to come and I can't wait to get some more seat time in this girl.

Here are some pics from today. My camera woman had her hands full with our little girl but managed to get some nice shots.

With Bobs experience it doesn't surprise me that things went smoothly. Personally there are a lot of cars I would rather face in a final than a George/Cassini combo.
