Rob I thought I had ya. I lifted but oviously took too much. I had no Idea it was going to pick any more up. Everyone was saying the air was getting worse.

I was wondering why the left lane was empty after the 2nd time shot.

Thanks guys.

Way to go Rich. Chris's LT1 blew up before we could get it into the tens. Nice job getting that combo deep into the tens and leaving the track with all the pieces still connected
