    Got my best time this weekend at the Street Car Super Nationals in Las Vegas, and also got my NHRA competition license. :bananaman:bananaman

    We never did get a full pass, but still went 9.44 at 143mph. I lost first round, but accomplished my goal of getting my license, so it was great. I had to change the transmission Friday night after round 2 qualifying too.

    Also, Jake (aka Smav347) was there and took some pics of the car. He says he is going to put it in the Fastest Street Car Magazine, so that will be awesome too. :thumbs2:

    Next goals are to go 8's and win an event.

    Yeah, its the Maverick with the new motor and supercharger that I've been working on for the last couple years. Next time I'm going to do some in-car videos.
