I'm surprised that you can actually find time to run your car.

Spoke to Doug about it and we are going back to the setup that ran the 9.33 and the mid 9 runs in Ga without any problems. We tried to combine the new balancer with a 2.75 pulley - belt no likey. it snapped clean accross.
We had been getting consistently into the mid 140s MPH with the old setup so thats where we will go back to for the pro 10.0.
RobZ was at ATCO - I did not get a chance to speak to him after any of his runs - so Rob please report in and thanks for helping me find my keys!
I was there solo - It was nice having an electronic winch to pull the car up on the trailer. Very nice!
