Your Bus is AWESOME!

I took several shots of your bus: in the staging lanes and on the track.

What do you have in it for an engine?

I'm more of a vintage/stock guru, but those buses really look tough!

How fast is a bus like that in the 1/4 mile?

Pat,
    While his bus is probably faster than my bug, I should let you know that the 9.6 second pass is on an 1/8th mile track and not the 1/4 mile.  It was VERY impressive!
