My Last Drag Racer Suits Up!

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

After months (and months!) of work and planning, this kid went down the track this past Saturday 4x for test-n-Tune, and then for 'real' on Sunday with his first competition run! We dialed a 12.15, and he went 12.17 - he was literally in tears with the loss because his foot slipped off the pedal.

Ten minutes later he was off, hanging in his friends new motor home watching The Minions movie! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

I didn't sleep much last week trying to get everything ready, but I wouldn't trade these times for anything. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]
