Was looking for familiar machines at an NHDRO event from last year (which I don't run but am considering trying this year), and saw this. The gentleman in the far lane is the terrifying Leon Robinson, who cut a better light than the FJ did, and usually does when I race him as well!
Judging by the classes there, the FJ is racing in a normal bracket class, but I did see a picture of him against someone called Chris Panko, whom I frequently pit with at 2WS events, and I know runs the 8.88 (Crazy 8's) index class at NHDRO, in fact winning the class on the day these pictures were taken. So either Chris double entered into the streetbike bracket for some seat time, or that FJ is very powerful indeed....

It'd be worth a drive out to the track to see an FJ run there.
Let me know if you're coming down.

Spoke with Chris. He was indeed double entered in the bracket side, so that's most likely a 10.0-10.70 range FJ.

Mate, If that was your best run, I'd love to see your worst one. :sarcastic:
