JackAss kicking some!
 
This "sequence" gives you an idea of just how fast JA can hit 60 MPH... I snapped a photo on launch - and he was already 10 feet away! By the THIRD pic he's already hard on the brakes....

Bad Penny "launch"
 
Alex (#1 son) snapped this photo of BP launch... I was more than impressed at how hard it launched - and how straight! No fuss no muss - just flat azz getting after it.

In looking at the pictures posted -- I happened to notice this first picture - previously posted - of Tanner Faust doing an impressive burnout.... and noticed that ALEX was taking a picture from the REAR view (he's in this first picture with a camera up to his eye...Just behind the first BIG CONE) and thought it gave an interesting perspective! LOL - cough cough - gag - man I love the smell of burning rubber!!

I was very happy with the Penny's performance in the 0-60-0. The car launched so good that I'm really dying to get to a drag strip. Can I use Hoosier A6s as drag tires?

I "think" our best time was a 7.3 or 7.4 .. not bad for no ABS. Also, because I'm old and slow my event was really the 0-64-0 lol

When after a race you need explanations, that's all you need to know.

I agree. Fastest car in all events should win. Otherwise what's the point?

Yep -- since it's by invite only -- why invite someone and then shove their nose in the dirt... You saw/knew the car when you invited it to participate!

It's like -- Let me beat on my half million dollar car -- for FREE... win... and then someone doesn't like the color I painted it... Uh... sure!

Having said all that - and my opinion means NOTHING - it was and is a great event!

They just need to be sure of who/what they are inviting.. having us go agains SCCA track cars really doesn't help make the point they are trying to make.

Don't worry.. it will all be fixed though :)
