Good job Jim!


I see you were making some easy passes
I also started taking mine several weeks ago. I have the last 3 runs to make. Cals fuel pump started acting up and we had to put it away.Maybe I should use your car...

 

[Louie L.]

Oh also

Welcome to the board!!!!

Congratulations Jim! Don't know if you remember, but my dad and I met you at the Bradenton track rental (you took my brother Alex's spot)... Your car is one of the cleanest GNs I've ever seen and it seems like it's very consistent (perfect for bracket racing)...

Anyways was nice meeting you and seeing your car rip off some 9 second passes

Hey congrats guys, but sorry to butt in here but what is a NHRA license i mean what do you get for having that and what does it take to qualify, thanks i know i must seem like a complete fool for asking this

 

[LV GN]

its a licence to run 9's or faster. you must show you can handle the car. you make 2 hard launch's, 2 half track pass's and 2 full pass's in the 9's. also show you know every thing inside the car and can shut everything off and get out in 10 sec. or less. and also have to pass a physical.

 

[JoeNational]

Oh wow , nice you could still run 9's or faster without the license right?
