I wish I could score some chicks, but women in London are so stuck up their own ***** they are no fun. I will keep the celebrations on ice when I go to Vegas in November hahaha

What I do from here is get the car back on the dyno in a couple of weeks and map for more boost, 21-22psi and try and hit a very low 10

Very nice congrats!!! I checked out the pics, one of the pics is pretty funny with the guys in the background.

It looks like the tracks there take things very serious when it comes to safety cause I saw you guys in fire suits?

yeah its funny one over here, if its not a competition and you are only doing test runs (Run what ya bring) you get away with only wearing a helmet up to 10 seconds dead.

As soon as its side by side racing and a proper competition under MSA/FIA race competition licence rules you have to wear fire suits, with the gloves, fire proof boots/sneekers,balaclava. Car needs a welded in roll over bar or cage.

Yea my friends and fellow racers in the background like to laugh around haha
