Barney did you play at all with powerbraking? If yes, what rpm and boost were you able to load it up to? It looks like you popped out pretty quickly once you let it go and ran down jetfuel quickly. But I do wonder if he had released his parking brake

again congratulations on the great results and thanks for sharing. there is no disputing a time slip in my book.

No cough

Solid as Sears, probably a tick heavier, remember I had just ate that cheesburger and drank that kidney buster coke just before I made that pass!

Dead idle

No powerbraking needed boost is next to immediate.
Sure hate the factory locking brake idea that's "gotts' to go!"

Larry has been busy picking up horns and the odd hoof up off the tarmac. I think we'll see what he's been up to eventually. Patience.
