    I did it!

    I finally brke the 50mph barrier with my H&M Lifter, with a 51.3 mph! I ran out of room on this small lake in pueblo, looks like I will have to return to the mountain lake, and its 8000ft altitude were I will have plenty of room to open it up. It sounded like it was still accelerating but I had to shut it down so I could make the turn otherwise I would have been up on shore

    sorry i dont have a video of the run,(I was by myself) I will get one this weekend, and up dated pics too!!
