Default I'll get there yet!

Was already to run as a rookie at englishtown

Then a broken valvespring - ECS changed all springs. Then my F1 supercharger seized late friday night - ECS changed it out to a D1 they had on a parts car on saturday morning. Then the tranny went.

Had a great day watching anyway - The finals of the pro-8 was unbelievable.

I went to the tower at the finish line to watch. very

I can only imagine what last week must have been watching at the finish line with the big boys.

I'll get & run there yet this year!

Damn, that a ruff one. Sorry to hear it. Glad ECS is on your side.

My breaks failed yesterday at 100mph. Was an interesting experience, but due to that , i never made first round yesterday.

Must have been something! Great job on keeping it together.

The ECS boys will get me back together. They really bust their butts for you.
