Hey any "D" in a storm...right. You'll be fine...pump up the nitrous and go
fast. Get a baseline on the Dyno at home and then take it to the big white
Dyno in Wendover. Experiment with the ballast...lowering the car...etc.
You'll know a bunch more about the car at high speeds when you come back to
WOS in September with the trick "D".
