I am going to make a full cockpit rugas soon as I now where the seats will go and steps made in rough. I am doing a old baja sun logo and thinking of sticking a pirate some where
. I just go this thing about putting a pirate skull with deck of cards and using airtime too
maybe having him shoot out of a canon so you see his face and arms sticking out with his eye balls ready to explode. himmmm time for bed so I can dream something up. well I will send the ol and fade sample DOC. ARTIE

Dock,
Very interesting. Nice results. Think I would like to see you try labbed 34s. Am guessing they would put you in the 98 mph range at close to the same rpm. Other option is lab the 32s to put you right on the limiter.

I got you by .06 mph, Dave
There's probably a couple more left in it after
he does some more fiddling with it.
