I'm not sure what his vehicle setup was, but I'm pretty sure he wasn't wearing the extra 500 pounds that my car brings to the grid. You just can't fool physics.What is that FR500 running that you passed? He was accelerating pretty quick too.
We'll see how reliable the power plant is after several more floggings. I'm bored to 3.720, which is most I've ever seen a modular motor bored. My saving grace can only be the iron alloy BOSS50 block. IF it holds together that is.Thanks for re-pioneering reliably boosting 3v's again, for me. It's funny as doing a supercharger and building a fresh bottom end has been my next goal for a long time. It is sode tabled for now though. I need my shop built first.
Oh man that totally sucks….thankfully you’re okay.2nd session at CMP was not good to me today. Lost my brake pedal going into T8. Pumped it a few times, but no real help. Threw it sideways into the sand in a desperation move. Rolled it into the woods. Safety equipment did its job, so I'm here to type this.
Not sure where I'll go from here.
Aw man, Boone! Glad to hear you are ok! Just let the ol' gal sit for a while till everything subsides. No rash decisions. Amazing what time does.Thanks guys. Members have been flowing through our space to check on me. If I call it quits, I'll miss you guys more than the car.
Dang man, hate to hear this. So glad you walked away from it and here to tell the story. Better days ahead.2nd session at CMP was not good to me today. Lost my brake pedal going into T8.

Racing with my son has been one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. The family that races together stays together.My son, Jacob, is driving truck and trailer back home. I'm thinking I see something auto related in my future. Maybe a full on autocross build so that I can continue to spend this quality time with him. We'll see how things go. Whatever it is... family will come first.
