We had top mph of the race at 162.63. We are getting it figured out. We should do better at this race. I messed up last race driving! No more of that BS! Hope to put it in the .40's this time. Gonna be fun!

Decided to head out to North Star last night and check the action, rain water leeching up through the track resulted in only one round of qualifying before I had to leave at around 1am, they were calling second round as I pulled out of the gate. The Challenger is an impressive car, lots of work and engineering involved, beautiful machine. On the one pass I got to see it hooked like a rocket, went arrow straight and has a unique sound unlike the other turbo cars...quite impressive. I will let him report results.   Super nice guy and crew, thanks for the hospitality, enjoyed seeing your car and meeting you.
