I did the RC hobby before I started driving. I still take out the Traxxas Revo every once in a while, but I lost interest. After I sunk the thing in water last fall, I decided not to stick the money in to replacing the electronics. It still runs though.

Ruger, yes I am very familiar with STM. They have a very nice site, with applicable race components...which is a rare form these days.

I didn't even make a single pass this year. I have been swamped with work and school. I may not even get to make another pass until 2012, if my cards go the way I want (State Patrol training acadamy in July '11).

typically, I run 25psi, but recently switch from 91oct to E85 and had to lower the boost numbers based on the existing fuel pump. On 17psi, 435whp. Started getting close to running out of pump on E85. Next season should see 25psi dyno numbers with an Aeromotive A1000 and a surge tank setup. Should be somewhere around 500whp...ish. Last year, I made a few "test" passes at Bandimere on 14psi. E.T. wasn't the goal, but trap speed was. On 14psi, I trapped at 111mph. After that, then I'm attacking the safety: moly 8pt cage, safecraft halon fire suppression system. Then I will be making "good" passes.

I had me a Traxxas T-Maxx for awhile. Loved that truck but that thing was a real money pit. By the time I got done replacing everything I broke I had over $1000 in it. It had to go so I sold it on ebay for $350.00....now I regret it.. : (
