Keith,
You were right on your advice...I should have hit the button in third. I needed
a couple of extra teeth on the gear as the motor was only at 7900 at the lights.
John and talked about it before the run and agreed to just spraying it in 4th.
If we needed more, we would make another pass. Things don't always work as
planned...But I never planned to crash. But I do dress for the occasion.
