Sucks about you breaking parts....but that means your making the power. Don't let these minor setbacks stop you from achieving your goal..your so close!

Nah, it won't stop me. This is why it's such a big deal to actually run 9s. So many try, so few actually do it. We have been so close, but every time its been little things that kept us from doing it. Now it's time to soup up the drive train a little and I'm pretty confident we'll get it.

That really sucks, I was pumped to see you guys get it done! The track finally started hooking up and the red beast was just tired!

Tired of yall beating on her sensitive parts

It's only a matter of time now. Keep up the hard work!
