Thumbs up DS9 -Two Days of racing this weekend.

The forecast is for good weather this weekend.
I will be racing on the Masterton drag strip..
I did the 8.63 @ 164mph there, on low boost ..
If all goes well will be beating that straight off the trailer...
Our goal is to destroy the AMS record this weekend..

take it as a grain of salt until its done. I'm sure running that fast is alot easier said than done. Not to take anything away from the STM though. I'm sure they have what it takes.

Best of luck Guys! We have held on to that record for quite a while and it's nice to see a real contender going after it. If any car can do it, your car can. It really is a work of art. Best of luck and keep us posted

Eric

Thanks for that Eric..

You Guys certainly were the inspiration in going this far with this project.. full respect there.. I've loved your videos for a number years now..
I'm just lucky enough down here in New Zealand to have STM, to design, build and tune this weapon..

Thanks again - Dave
