Automatic 1-2 shift worked well, I should have hooked it up earlier. Road test OK, but I need to bleed the brakes one more time. Stopping at 140 something makes you want to have "Top Shelf" brakes.

Add a chute! Only 10mph away from being required anyway. A lot of 150+ cars are probably lighter than Dumbo.

Bowling Green was a disappointment and successful all in one trip. We qualified well but lost in forth round do to tire spin. It really makes me appreciate what Kevin Helms did in Jeff's red car. We will get there, maybe not a national championship, but we will get A to B. I'm hoping sooner than later.

We passed our first NHRA tech inspection. It's always good to have someone different looking at your car.

"Dumbo won some money, Dumbo won some money" the happy little boy sang.

Not a lot but it was the first drop in the black bucket
