X2 Nice writeup. I was especially interested in what you were saying about taking the retard inputs to ground when they are not activated. Need to read through those articles again!

Hey Jeff.....I actually saw your car and was coming over to say hi but for some reason I thought your car was red and figured it was someone else. Now I realize it is orange......from what I did see of it though that is one nice ride! What was your best pass last weekend? P/S is one of my favorite classes to watch......

Best pass was 8.76@157. The class is really good. The NMCA did a pretty nice job with the rules. I lost to Bruce in the 2nd round on a redlight. I thought maybe I'll take all the launch retard out and see what happens, turns out I was a retard, it blew the tires off of it. Bruce and John still have the upper hand but I have to admit, it's not a strong upper hand, theirs a half dozen guys that can win a race in PSTK and that's pretty cool.

Awesome.....still amazes me that you guys are going high 60's and 70's all motor on 10.5's and at such a heavy weight. I have a lot of respect for that. Glad to see some life coming back to the class. You're right there ET/MPH wise with everyone else, just gonna be a matter of consistency. Good luck! I'll probably be in Joliet in July, I'll look you up if your going to be there.

Thanks everyone.
The Part II article will be very informative. We will have more in-depth coverage on how other forms of racing are using sub component communication and how that is trickling into the drag racing arena.
