Hi guys,
Thanks for all the supports and great comments.

Its a long and hot weekend of racing and i really appreciated the Autobanh crew, all my friends from Houston and my family came out and supported me

As I left on saturday night with my best 222.374 mph and best of the yellow FGT TT was 222.24 mph, so i got the record cover going home. I did come by and said bye to the Heffner boys and told them that iam not coming back on sunday.

They are so close to my record that i knew they will try to take me out on sunday. 1:30 AM on sunday morning, i called up Duy and texted Peter that i want to go back and make sure i get the record this year as well looking for my personal goal of 230 mph. Duy said yes that he would meet me at the shop at 9 and will help me out for the day. Peter woke me up at 8 and want to go as well. Alex also showed up and drove me out there so i can some rest ths Alex. So we are on and ready to go for 230.

On the way there we heard that the yellow FGT may have cranked up the boost to go for my number and spun out and got in the grass. They are ok and lined up again but couldnt better their own number from yesterday.

We got there about 2 and start unlooad the car and put the 18" with Toyo RA1 (ths Jim Flewelling) in the back and go for the record number. I even did a quick detail on my car since there was some rain earlier from Houston. I did a quick burn-out and line up and ready for the run. The car spun out in 1st, 2nd, 3rd drifting all the way but iam not letting out Shifted to 4th and holy **** it hooked, before the 1/2 mile mark i already on top of 4th which is about 160-170 and shifted to 5th and hold on till the 1 mile mark. The car was hauling ass all the way to 9320 RPM according to my AEM log by the mile mark......228.7 mph....so close to my round number 230 that i want for my personal license plate---230 MPH---

When i came back from the run, the Heffner guys Gary, Jason and SVS TT Viper Ron gave me prop for the run. They decided to take Gary's red TT Viper and run it till they can take out my number but there was a gas paddle failure that stop him from making the pass....Its was nice to meet you Ron, Gary and Jason

We are working on the video and will have them up soon
