Been riding ole girl a bit more lately.

Running consistently in the 8's.

Here's a couple of wonderful cell phone pics from last Friday's session.

Went out to T&T last night at BMP and got in a few runs.

Below are the quantitative details of the Last and First pass.
I neglected to show the runs where I failed to have air pressure for the shifter

The last run was my personal best ET at 8.877.

60' = 1.641
1/8 = 5.925
MPH = 130.24
1/4 = 8.877
MPH = 164.89

Basically had a weak start, but I am getting better overall.

My first run of the night was my best run wholestically:

60' = 1.525
1/8 = 5.525
MPH = 131.17
1/4 = 8.914
MPH = 169.26
