He went .053 red on his first run then .230 green on the second. Gonna have to work with him as he wants to race the high school class this summer. Cant express what a great feeling it was to watch him.

I made a pass and ran 12.43. His first pass ever down the 1/4 was 12.44 ! Ron Last edited by 383man; 04/11/10 11:24 PM.

He always made sure he was at the starting line when you raced. He loved watching the Mr P Body car do those wild, wheel standing starts you were famous for.
