He has made some adjustments to the car and despite high humidity and poor track prep, thanks to Damon, the car has ran a new best of 9.01 at 149. With better air and better track conditions, the car should run in the high 8's. I feel very fortunate to have Damon in my corner, he builds race engines, carburetors and knows chassis. He does it all.

I am sure if you asked him he already has something in mind to build you to go faster! Back in the swing of things at Painless again! Great to be back!
