    62 degrees makes sense.
    I feel like there should be a celebration party. This is important history here. I'd drive to Arizona for it.

    Nick is right about the track, it's still pretty green. I was there today & saw the passes. To put it mildly, I'm very impressed with not only the car but Cal's driving also. The record pass wasn't a straight one, so I thought for sure Cal was going to lift, but to his credit he kept it on the floor & in between the lines.

    So yet again, congrats to everyone involved with the record.

    Just think, in 20 years the slip will be worth as much as a car. It's not like anyone's going 7's with a stock block in our lifetime....:cool:

    Every once in a while you meet a guy who exlempifies the much used phrase "Go Fast with Class" I had the pleasure on meeting Mr. Kerney and Mike Zimmerman at the Indy event and they were those guys. They welcomed us like we were old friends. I had some time to talk to Mike about engines and his ideas about building the 109 and was impresed with his ideas (maybe I should have taken notes :wink: ) I told them about my own 109 project and Dick really lobbied to get me to let Mike build it. After talking to Mike I knew it would only be a matter of time before they really leaned on their combo and laid down a big number and while I had my own sight set on this record I whole heartily congratulate the whold Kerney team on this once in a lifetime record and impressive accomplishment. Now I guess I have to run 160 with mine :biggrin:
    CONGRATULATIONS!
