I remember when I set a goal for my E.T. first it was 15.0 then 14.0 now
it's 12.xxx . anyone that is trying to go faster is never satisfied it may
take another year for the itch to come again but it always does. You see you
were able to run that pass on 26 inch tires but in a few days you'll want to
be able to run it in street trim then...........just messin with you.
congrats on reaching your goal anyway hehe
