So far this year it's been good.  The past year and a half was a little bother some.  We encountered several problems over that time, but everything seems to be working out real well.  Perhaps there will be more record breaking this year.  I believe his goal is to hit the 10's this year.  He doesn't care if it's a 10.999, it's still a 10.  Check back as the race season is just getting started.
