Winged Warrior event
These are pix from the Winged Warrior event that i competed at in Indianapolis Indiana. There were 3 events: Drag, Autox, Show. The autoX course was so big that i had to shift into 3rd and the end.
I ran a 13.6 in the drag portion which didn't net me anything and got 2nd place at AutoX in a field of 16 cars.
For the show portion....don't ask :P

Chris, right? It's been so long 
I apologize for my memory.
Things are well, thanks. Things a little shook up family-wise, but still living day to day at least. For that reason, the car has been a back-burner, though almost complete project. It runs great but the tune is only fair. I've been slowly improving it but there's a small leak at the exhaust cam gear seal so I had been reluctant to push it too hard, so when I tuned, I mainly paid attention to the lower-load areas. Lately, I've pushed it up near redline and it didn't break on me, so when I have more time I'll refine it as best I can and get it up to a dyno. I'm hoping for 350-370, but I might do a pure race-gas tune for ****s & giggles.
How's things on the island? I see that the plans for the new track are taking shape.
Howsit with you?

Things here are pretty expensive, and the fixed rail that the mayor is trying to stuff down our throat is finally getting some resistance. The superferry is still only shuttling from Honolulu to Maui.
Good to hear from you, Take Care!

It's just an event that's held once a year to raise money for a childrens hospital.

I'm doing good. Still have no kids, so the cars are my babies. The track is SLOWLY taking shape. I really don't know why a few people are holding up progress for all the racers. Well, I plan to make it out to a few HPDE events to work on my skills.
