[Marc70challenger]

Hey @jimynick Ian!! Thanks man. Was quite an oddessy. Lol. And now another starts.

We're leaving for Cordova probably Friday now.  Take time loading and making sure we kit the trailer right we're pulling with Barracuda. Arrive early Saturday morning - chill, get cold valve lash reading (checked and adjusted today hot @ .022) and meet some buddies rolling in.

Will try post some pics as we roll during week. I definitely get some videos.

Hotrod.com does a daily live feed. You can see the repertoire of cars and hits.

Got her all cleaned up yesterday.

Any pics that you can share along the way would be greatly appreciated.  Looking forward to hearing how you do.   Good luck!

We got up at 4am - Our group had heard of 4am but wasn't too familiar. (Brads words).  Tech started at 8am.

Got in tech line early and we were out by 1030.  They opened track by 11am. First run was motor run - shifting 6500 and ran 12.22 at 109 mph. Second run ran it up to 7k - 11.17 at 125mph.  All foot braking .. 60 ft of 1.9.  So leaving a ton on line/launch. 

Been 26 years since last time on a track. And never had transbrake before ... so will give few more runs before hitting the button. But will be interesting what that gets us.

Few pics here. Try to get GoPro in car tomorrow - but our pick-up truck is at local dealership (won't start). So tomorrow will be fun trying to makes runs, wife dealing with how she will follow in what, etc.    what a CF. lol

Best lookin' car in the bunch! Glad to hear you boys made it in one piece, too! Let's hope the mechanical gremlins have decided to pick on your pickup, Mark and not the 'Cuda. It sounds like quire a deal and I can imagine the big SE'ing grin on Brad's face as well. LOL Roll on lads and good luck!
