Not exactly sure what pass that was, but it would have been 6.20's @ 236 or so.

This is what it looks like when you kick out the burst panel at a 1000' and still run 6.30's at 222+.

Damn....

Two things...

I love the intensity of thumping the fender once or twice every time you go up there.... and I've never seen a panel blow out like that right in the camera view....

Nice run! I moved you up a spot on the fast list. Wish I could have seen the pass, but I was pretty busy all weekend. Don't forget you Boy's got to make it down to MRP next spring for that good DA.
