That sure beats the rush we had to put on in Chicago (this one was not a record run, but it was a tear down between runs) and scurry like crazy to get things back together before we were scheduled to run again.

This is what I have done every year since I have had the Volare. Tearing down and being sealed in a controlled environment at the beginning of the year means not having to worry about it the rest of the year if you do happen to set a record or win a race. I don't know about you guys but I hate tearing down in the dirt! I go to a race to have fun and I don't need the extra stress! Now if I could get checked and sealed by both NHRA and IHRA at the same time! Jim
