Ran my car at mission raceway last night!

[optimus234 at hotmail.com (Kevin S)]

Our RT is by .000. I am on street tires and its very hard to hookup in 1st. 
After that night im addicted to racing. I will be going down to the track 
more often.

I will keep everyone updated on my car progress and track progress.

Kevin
