Pic of Roy "Boost" Garcia today - Wheels up!

Here is one great shot from Roy's HARD launch at the bradenton Buick event today, I got lucky with the picture at almost his peak - there was probably a few more inches of lift before he came back down... Good show guys!

More pics of the event to come, I'll post them later.

Oh and CONGRATULATIONS to the ALKYCONTROL.COM Car, (RAZOR).... He hit the magic 120 MPH trap speed today on 93 Octane pump gas and Alky!!
