    Thought I would share a professional pic taken this past weekend of me racing out at SpeedWorld in Surprise, Arizona. Now I realize that I'm not wearing a helmet, but I don't run fast enough to require one. :oops: Probably should wear one anyway for safety sakes though. :scratchchin:

    Dang Gene! GOOD JOB!!!

    We on the other hand ran a 7.22 on 7 cylinders. Burned a hole in one, broke a roller lifter in another and the third was just dead. We were on a run though...would have been a nice low 6 second pass had it not been for the block getting pressurized and blowing all the seals and gaskets out of it. Fun run though!
