Shawn, Are you going to bring the bike to Power of DC. I am going to be there with your old Orange Crush (updated somewhat) BTW it ran 59 mph and 13.9 in the 1/8th hope to see some FLEAA folks at the races. Just noticed you were making a new bike....I know it is not a drag racer but still hope to see you there Keith
