Success backed up with total modesty.

A team effort for sure but this success will just lead to

onward and upward. We'll see then again.

Congrats Chris! Very happy for you and everyone else involved!  :cheers:

I am so happy and pleased!

Too bad James couldn't have been a part of it.

Waiting for you full report on landracing,
I'm proud to know you and am sharing your delight in your well-earned accomplishment.

k, the dick head didn't let his wife come.

Records are one thing but I wanted to see Katy.

He denied her this trip.

Now  Goggles, that's a different deal.

He would likely have been talking to someone and

have missed the tailwind.

He chose guitars over Hot Rod records.

He possibly have been homesick.

Congratulations Chris and crew. Job well done.

I love the USA. How much longer will we be a free nation?

Asking questions is one's only way of getting answers.

The rational person lets verified facts form or modify his opinion.  The ideologue ignores verified facts which don't fit his preconceived opinions.

Congrats Chris, hard won battle. Btw that #1 spark plug wire double as your torque limiter. Looks banjo string tight. :-D :cheers:

Thank you - everyone.

Bugged out before getting to talk with everyone.  Limited sleep, minimal pit and a disorganized, way-too-small tow vehicle led to the decision to grab and go.


Mark and I just got to Kearny, Nebraska - will push home tomorrow.

It still hasn't sunk in.

Let me put together a recap when I get to Beerhaven.


Wayno pointed out, "It's Family".

You folks are the finest family of non relatives I've ever been associated with.

Thank you for seeing us through the ups, downs, brilliance, bullshite, beer, banter and baloney.

It's only started - Mark and I have been discussing the new engine for about 300 miles.

Well, I guess we're making a LOT of progress . . .  :roll:

Nice job.  That was a big increase in speed from the last time out.  That detailed work is paying off.

Way to close out your season in the best possible way ever! Can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve for the Midget in the next couple of years.

Dean Los Angeles

This project started in 2008 if you can believe we wasted that much time on this poor bastard.  :evil:

Chris started with more than the average guy when he started this build. In other words, about 5% of what he needed.

The net result was 22 MPH.

Stir in Mark and thousands of posts of advice from this gnarly crowd and BAZINGA!

Next time a newby chimes in we need to direct him here and tell him to come back after he has read the whole thing, redesigned his entire program because of it, and has gained a whole lot of respect for the Grenade.

Tell me YOU didn't learn something from all of this. I sure as hell did.

Chris! You da man!
Well, it used to be Los Angeles . . . 50 miles north of Fresno now.
Just remember . . . It isn't life or death.
It's bigger than life or death! It's RACING.
