Heck of an achievement . . . way to go Ronnie and crew - now back it up in the AM! It takes TWO passes to set a record.

I once had a nicely set record in the FlatCad car, was the first car on the course the following day and burned up an ignition rotor on the starting line (and didn't have a spare). Hard way to lose a record - over a $12 part . . . but it happens to all of us.
