    Plum was the fastest at the track (5.9X's). There were more than a couple of 7.X cars there. Pretty quick!

    I remember on the heads up trials, pinky stomped plum to the 60 ft mark. I think the red light had something to do with it. :D

    Hey Lance, he'll have more time to call you next year. I talked to his pit crew chief and she said she WOULD be driving that car soon. I watched her helping him get the car ready for each race and she kept him straight buddy. I remember one time she must have been taking a break and I got the honor of turning his switch on for him since he forgot and was already strapped in. :evilsmile Rick...your daughter is gonna make a good driver. :yup: Might as well get used to it...or are you scared she's gonna go faster than you? :huh:

    Thanks for a great show buddy...you've got an awesome car.
