Default Probird(Rick) Wins Havana Spring Nostalgia Race

Congrats to Rick on winning the Havana Spring Nostalgia race last night. Not sure of the car count, but the place was packed with a ton of cars. BADGTO(Keith) also went several rounds in his first outing of the year.

Thanks guys. It was a good first outing for the new engine. We made our fastest pass to date in the car in not so good air 5.854 @ 117.2). Congrats to Keith (Badgto) on his fastest pass to date also with his new engine. Unfortunately we had to line up against each other in the 3rd round. We were dialed almost heads up. I was 5.86 to his 5.88. It was a good race. We were probably in the top 5 fastest cars in that class. Pontiac power!!

Congrats Rick!
So did Badgto make you some kinda samich on the starting line in that round? I heard he went dead zero on that pass....Congrats to Keith also on his car running it's best to date! Not bad for a motor with a few borrowed parts on it!
