Well just got back from Avon park, it was the mini show down weekend. It would appear that I came 3rd in my class and I get a cup.

Quite pleasing as I was the only one in the top 3 to drive the car to the event and drive it the 170 miles home! the 1st and 2nd place cars are really top class motors, and feather light, in some cases up to near 200 KGS lighter then me! and are set up for drag racing much more then my car. So I'm pleased.

What's more pleasing for me if I broke the 110 terminal speed barrier that I so much wanted to see, my best speed over the line was 112 mph. and my best 1/4 time was 13.83 sec, with a good 2.483 sec, 60 foot time, this is my best ever!, in the grand scale of things it's crap I no!
All this was done and 3/4 power as well as i wanted to get home lol.
