Blackbird is in Houston - But I'm Gone...Sorry Guys

Well this leave was insane - driving in North Carolina was Epic, getting pulled over at triple digit speeds, spewing flames etc - getting off with just a warning then hauling butt to Houston to go to my best friends wedding.

Long story short I have to say that after driving about 2,800 miles in a car with no A/C, radio or creature comforts in the middle of summer is freakin' epic...and I don't use that term lightly.

The triple plate tilton clutch let go and I have to retune the motor with a MOTEC EMS to get gear dependant boost due to the fact that she spins the wheels in every gear above 3k RPM at any more than 1/2 throttle. And lighting up those 345/35/19's isn't something to take lightly.

So just after I got to Houston she was undrivable so that made meeting up impossible and due to my messy divorce taking place I really didn't have any time to get together with the group, and I apologize for that.

But enough words, here's some pics:

Love the bat pic!

Let us know when you're back. Maybe all the Houston black 930's will be drivable at the same time
