Yup, currently sitting at 85, we were up to 87 but I guess 2 dropped. 67 is the old record for any class, ever.

That is going to be awesome to watch. Good luck Ruff and all other Z competitors at Nationals!

I'll be there for both Pro Finale and Nationals in STU. Making some setup changes, like a real smart guy, right before Nationals. Boost buggies have been too fast lately!

I assume this means adding nitrous. Not that I'm great at launches, but Martin Kriz's STI has been beating me to the 60ft line by 0.4-0.5sec consistently. Ouch, that's hard to overcome on a ~30sec course.

It will be nice to met you and wish you all the best in your setup, it should be a fun event, really looking forward to it.

I tested the "new" pads today on the T&T course, definitely not up to the level I would prefer! If anyone has any spare Hawk pads on site and would be willing to part with them for some $$$ please let me know!

Haha Bryan, perhaps a bit of an understatement?

Always a pleasure racing against you (and finishing second to you, as long as I keep getting closer), and thanks again for letting me drive your car for my first west course run when our car broke!

No problem Jeff. It was fun getting pushed by you (and a little nerve-wracking!). Your first run in my car was darn quick (darned cones), and you killed it on the East course the next day.

There were actual setup changes, too, besides the new chassis. Alignment tweaks and some new bushings.

Hah, not quite, but +30hp didn't hurt. Still a ways back from the Evo/STI contingent to 60ft, but we always will be.

Great to meet you last week and your car looks awesome in that color. Cool to see a few Zs running STU throughout the weekend!
