So much hot rod history out there since the golden age!! I know Ken and I have hot rod roots, as well as major cruiser Idis.! So cool to see you representing our favorite fj45 ! Stay safe brother, and make sure you have full throttle on that big 6!!

Did some test runs yesterday, Learned a a lot and had a few old school Salt guys stop by with some tips. Even at tech folks were coming up saying " This thing is so Badass " Pre break in testing averaged 85MPH in the short runs. Really got to ease into the throttle and let the motor catch up to the fuel flow. We will be on the 2 1/2 mile course Friday.

I hope someone gets a lot of video of all this.

It was a long day today, Finished all my paperwork and did more test runs. Adjusted a few things and found a few problems. Everything is sorted out and I am feeling good about everything. 10 am tomorrow we will be lined up for our first run. Good Times

Major learning curve for myself and the 45. 1st two runs 81 mph, 3rd run 88 mph, this morning 81. Salt condition, wind, temps all make a difference. Im making Major changes fuel wise, tire pressure and weight for tomorrow's final 2 runs
