Video of my first experience with 1/2 mile racing
Mother Nature was certainly not kind on April 30 for NoFlyZoneMidwest at Rantoul, IL. Despite the wet runway, I'm glad that I braved conditions to give it a try. I managed 141 mph on RS-As, with a passenger, while using the windshield wipers! Can't wait to see how it will run with Drag Radials on a dry runway!

Anyone who has ever worked on a car has been in your position, and sitting cross-legged on a concrete floor with a dim shop light is its own kind of hell... Chalk it up as one of the rites of passage.

Sweet Joe, sucks that mother nature failed to cooperate.

I managed 3 runs by myself, and 3 runs with a passenger. Not ideal, but it sure beat a total rain-out. I can't wait to do this again with drag radials on dry pavement!
