 We had an interesting Pass out there on the Salt ... Ever since I have been
 racing I had yet to make a Pass that I felt was at Terminal Velocity... or
 as Fast as the car would go under the conditions at Hand....
 
 Well our 150hp Nitrous Hit was the very first time I was left out there
 hanging at a Particular Speed.... in this case I entered the 4 at 225 and
 exited at 226 mph.... Now what that means is that the car was no longer
 accelerating...and in that condition the car simply Floats out there....
 going fast but FLOATING...not a Pretty feeling I might add.... Ole Dave was
 digging it... thought it was the Perfect Pass with that Hit of Juice....

Keith,
    Nice pass and a GREAT effort. Even if it takes you a couple of years to 
get 4 hats, think about all the guys who race for years and never even get 
one.
    Thanks for being the "glue" of this group and sharing your experiences 
with us.
