Keith it was great getting to meet you to. I had a blast and caught a terrible case of salt fever. Wow 184 that is moving between you and Tim there were alot of Y-block converts that week, Also congrats on qualifying for the long coarse. If I am not mistaken you might just have the first Y-block to ever do that. Quite the impressive feat. Take care Sam

For those of us that are uninformed on the salt what does qualified for the long coarse mean exactly? ChuckTo qualifie for the long course,you need to be going faster than 175 at the 2 & 1/4 mile speed trap. While I did exceed that,we thought the car was pretty much done at 3 miles (short course) But there is always next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!
its not how fast you go, its how you go fast.

Nice work Keith, no mater how hard you try, a chunk of salt will fall out of the frame next winter and you will say, "where did that come from"?
