Me Too. Gotta love a fellar, especially his 1 grit sanding technique!

Last year he drove El Toro as a guest driver for Motion Raceworks and he got the drag racing bug. He sure can wheel a car.

Unfortunately Tom Bailey is out, word is he dropped a valve on the drive after day one and running a 6.26, he's not had a lot of luck with that car of late.

He's spent 10months building it since it burnt badly.
Is that the bad luck you mean? Or missing rmrw because of covid in his small team?

Look at the dyo current winners. That is pretty amazing considering how tight they have kept it over the different tracks involved.
And then some of those bullseye scores are alright too.

Did anyone else watch the final day? (Always the most exciting day to watch).
That yellow car reaching for the sky on launch (can't remember what it was), the Honda braking suspension and going hard into the wall (at slower speed though), and biggest moment after the sun had gone done - Ayden bailey running low 8 @163mph through the traps, suddenly sparks everywhere and into a wall. Then we find it went onto it's roof and that was the sparks and wall hit o_O
But knowing that car has a full sub 8.5 certed funny car cage I was confident of safety (crampton ran 6's in the car legally). He got out and is fine.
Now to await the updates coming over the next weeks for the Tom bailey review of what happened and how to fix it.

I saw the crash on the live feed, very weird. The commentator was very slow as the car had already flipped and slid across the track into the other wall before they noticed. It's almost like it hit something although I thought I might of heard that the drivers side front wheel had some sort of failure
