Great job as always Paul!

Thats ok much better times to come. The 1/8th mile is nuts for only 38psi. Do you realize that these other big builds are running 50pis plus of boost to get those times...

Sucks we could not squeeze another pass in. With each pass Paul was getting better. With just a little more work we should be able to get our 8sec pass.

Never have been so tired with our car drive yesterday that started a 9am. PIR Sat night getting home at 1am, then up at 6am to hit Woodburn and there in the sun till 3pm. After 6mons of cold and rain us NW guys dont take well to the heat.

The car is spooling out of the whole much better then I thought it would. Was glad I to be wrong about the car being hard to launch.

Some props to Paul for having the ***** to really go for it after a whole winter of just driving his auto Diesel around and not being behind the wheel of anything fast.

Congrats Paul, Lucas and the English Racing Team! I know once the suspension is dialed in, and you learn how to drive the new setup, 8s are in the bag!

Was great to see everyone working together at the track this weekend! It really feels like the NW is one big family. I can't wait until we see some 8's. When you hit it drinks are on me. Same goes for Lucas when we see some 10's

Paul, how did the 46 psi pass go? One of your posts in the dragracing thread said you had turned it up to 46. Did you not get to make that run? That car is going 8's in no time. Nice job, especially considering that today was it's first time back out. Keep it up.

Nope i spun so bad out of first gear than did the classic hit the wall trying to get into 2nd gear From there i just coasted down. We where out of gas and ice. Lucas was falling asleep on me

I guess using the beer's ice was out of the question. Priorities. Nice job though. First time back out, I'm sure it takes a bit to get the VIOLENCE under control. Didn't read it, or I missed it, but "How was the track prep?". Probably not the best so early in the season.
