    Wow, what a great looking guy!
    Anyone else going to this event?
    For those that don't know, there's not a strong FE presence at this event. If you have your sights set on a record, it's likely that it will be yours to get. I only know of two FE guys that will be running, so come out and give it a try!

          Where are the records listed just wondering what speed is S-?

                NAMBA members can pay the $10 "one time fee" and run but to set a record you have to be an IMPBA member.

                Here's some vid of Keith's record setting run:

                  Hey thats great news I have to learn how to run SAW the only way is to get there and start learning. I can run when the IMPBA guys are not ready to run now I am pumped.
                  Thanks,
                  Mike

                    Get in there!! A SAW's weekend is the ultimate test and tune. You'll have a great time and learn speed secrets the SAW racers won't share online.

                        I'm putting my T cat back together, depending on how some testing goes in the next two weeks,, I don't know. And of course work, that I really don't know, I'm going to try and push some stuff so I can at least be a spectator.

                          I am going to at least be out there Friday. Can't stay the weekend this time, but will have the Q hydro with me for shake down test.

                              Terry, will your usual FAST cohorts be there? And what time will you start setting up on Friday? I'll be out early to help if possible.
