MAN...WAY TO GO :!: ........what a good looking drag bike........It looks really light and well built.........Hat's off to you ;)

That frame turned out really nice, as everything is.......and a bit of spray.......that has to be exhilerating.........probably the best 9 seconds of your life :clap:

So what.......maybe 180HP and 320 LBS........Yikes.......Thats like a 3200LB car with 1800HP.......Neat 8-)

When will you be at Martin or Indy :?: .........would love to go see those bikes run

I just tried it and everything's working fine. Maybe the board had a temporary problem.
