Finally.. A Full Pass!!

After several attempts to make a decent pass we finally got our wish this weekend in Neillsville, Wi. The weather was cold and rainy on race day but the motors loved it. Our first pass set a new Lethal Injection all time best with a time of 2.088 in 150 feet.. Back in the pits Jeff Heck turned a few wrenches, gave me an evil grin, and said "hang on".. Then with a little driving tip from team Paperboy and I was ready for the second run. The car launched extremely hard and I could tell we were on a hard pass. But everything fell apart at half track when the blower belt decided it was finished as I watched it fly over my head. Even with losing power at half track, I still managed a time of 2.336.

Paul Wessinger driving the Paperboy Express set a new all time CMA record with a blistering time of 1.881 and then team mate Scott Snarski backed it up with a 1.885
Congrats to them on a record that will be hard to beat..
