Congrats to Len, John, Jan and Kenny as well as their entire team. I would also like to point out the Jan worked his butt off with Kenny to help them get the car right as did Lens son and the blonde headed gent with the pony tail. The fellows from Chi-Town with the BB/N2O car were also a class act by giving them time enough to fix a shifter issue on their 7.06 pass. That helped keep them in the race and not just regulated to testing and tuning. Kenny D. is one sharp individual and one of the most humble and down to earth people you will ever meet. While Len did get that elusive 6 second pass he also got hooked on Cohibas so I think he is now ruined for life.
 Congratulations to ya'll. I hope you are able to continue pushing it further.Jim C.

Working on it, posting TSO Final Race Video...
Over 2,000 photos, and more than 200 videos...
The best turbo Pics will not be posted since I will writing an article for GM High Tech Performance, Rick J and their team could not make it so I was contacted to take photos and write an article... sorry people... Tower/Final Race videos/V8 pics will be posted.... I would have shot more pics but 2 rain dayswith cloudy overcast days means not a lot of photos, but Friday and Saturday are the best days to shoot, except for the people that come to the wall becuz there is no safety standards for spectators, I counted ober 20 people next to the wall, and they would stand up the entire day, with no respect for those in the bleachers watching or with video cameras...

Thanks for posting the videos Brett, especially of the 6 sec pass!
 I will have to put that in the Turbo Video's and Picture Library and maybe even make it a sticky considering that it is history!
