My car worked flawless yesterday for the first time ever at Keystone giving me my second win ever with the car. I won two years ago at Mason Dixon, but at Keystone I could never make it past the 4th round. The car only varied .0193 in the 60ft and .0219 in the 1/8 out ot 9 passes. Thanks to everyone that congratulated me on the win last night.
