I know the feeling! Our's slowed .02 in the quarters against Justin Jenkins for no apparent reason. That's drag racing though. Just goes to show, even if you have all the electronics giving you run predictions, mother nature is going to have the final say!
We've supplied bare castings to Bret a few times in the past. Seems like a good guy, though I've never personally met him.
I hope to have "in-car" footage real soon. I've driven the car several times myself in the past, but I've always wanted to see dad "bangin' gears" from the inside. Check out this link. Troy Henderson (A/S) sent this to me. He likes his, although he's never used it in his own car! Seems to be an inexpensive way to see "blue sky" on launch.
