Put my son in car today. First time.

Well I survived his first 3 passes in car and honestly he did great. I left it on the throttle stop and he went 11:00 off the trailer with a decent burnout. 2 nd pass he was much more comfortable in the burnout, I let it eat a little low end and he went 10.34@120 with a 1.24 60 ft. Last shot I put the car on a .90 he went 10.82@146 and I got a call from the tower. All in all much better than I hoped and now we can get his license next week.

Gary-
I did the same thing with my youngest last fall, a pretty neat experience for sure. Be careful though, that hook sets DEEP!

How quickly we forget all the mistakes we've made.
