Got Ka-Blue-E to beech bend sat night. Freshened it up last year and finally made a couple runs.
I planned on taking it easy on the 1st run but when I let go of the button it was on a great pass so I stayed in it. 4.86 at 152 MPH
2nd pass got interesting, I drove it to much, it got squirrelly and made the track anouncer a little excited. Went a 5.03 at 125 MPH . Went bowling for dollars. Scuffed the front bumper a little, looked at both walls way to hard. But luckily it didn't touch either wall.

It was a great night. Seen some ole friends, they told me about the Blackbird crash the night before. That car is so cool. Glad he's ok and already rebuilding.

Always exciting using both lanes. It's a good day when it doesn't touch anything to hard.
