That's great news! It must mean that they got the engine sorted out.

Wow, is Charlie going to break the sound barrier this time? Hope he will break at least the old record.

Not the sound barrier but I had a good time.   Engine is making about the same HP as last year so with no expectations of records being broke Charlie let me drive the truck to get my "Rookie" run out of the way, we both want a Red Hat someday.  IT WAS SOOOO MUCH FREEKIN' FUN!

Here's the video

Way to go Tim! Did you get a time slip? I quess you're a pit younger man now. Like a kid in the candy shop ... BTW, don't they allow you to power shift on the rookie run or why is your shifts so gentle ?

I got two timing slips.   Power shifts on the dirt will just tear it up.

Seppo - We were flying your club flag high..............

Lon and Chuck - You both get mentioned each time I answer questions like "Are you from Australia?", or "What's a Y-Block and why is it forever?"

Thanks guys for your support....

Tim did a great job and looked like an "Old Pro" right from the start.

Before each run he took time to collect his thoughts and mentally went through each step.  Great strategy for anyone, rookie or pro.

The video link above says it all...............Excellent job Tim...........We did have a great time.

Three years down on a ten year plan...................can't wait until next season.

Tim, thoroughly enjoyed the video! If it were me behind the wheel, I would need a new pair of Hanes!

Charlie -thanks for letting him take it out...a lot of us would pay good money to sit in the drivers seat like that and get that kind of experience from you.
