We didn't have to shag cones so, between runs we could just hang out and BS. Much better than standing in a parking lot.

I'm still a little off pace but I think I know how to sort that out. I will change a couple small things and I think I will be ready for SEMA and Optima.

What was the field of cars in the competition? I think it is great how well this community represents and usually dominates where ever they go.

Hi Charlie, do you know what sort of times he posted for the speed stop & 1/4 mile drags??

Nice video Mark.....one thing I couldn't help noticing though was your forklift driving style. Every driving driving instructor I have ever sat next to has been known to paddle those who let the steering wheel spin through an open palm. I'm sure Mary Pozi can back Me up here. Some good shuffle steering will help keep you from getting behind on Your steering inputs and causing some of those under-steer moments.....just a friendly observation.
