Dave called me yesterday on the way home from the water. He did a pulley change and turned the boost WAY down. He thinks they're at around 1400hp now.

Frankie, it still plastered my azz back in the seat. Good thing I had the steering wheel to hold.

I think Dave braces himself in the seat by pushing the throttles forward.

It is one mean monster. The thing corners like it is on rails. We were doing high speed turns and Dave is throttling up through the turns. Better than any amusement park ride they could ever design.

just an update: The turbine 46 will be at home when I get back Sunday.

Dennis, just a few days too late for the event. Oh well, there'll be more.

Have a safe trip.
