SO!, We finally make our way out to Gimli for a day of Drag Racing to see what the Omega can do with it's new powertrain. Been waiting all year to get out. Ian and I drive the Omega out there, as my parents followed behind to join us for the day. In the middle is a picture of the 'Slomega Racing Pit Crew' for the day. My uncle and mom are the official photographers, Dad & Ian in pit area. I, am driving :) Eger to get ready for 'Tech' inspection, my dad pushes Ian out of the way and mounts the drag-radials.

Seen here, is my dad who waited with me in line to have the Omega inspected. Dad's checking over some of his notes in regards to the car. The Omega passes inspection without any concerns ... we are ready to go!

Ian, my dad & I waiting for the call to the start lanes. The lanes are now open, and the Omega is waiting in line to get a pass in. First pass with the 355, 14.70 @ 92mph

Another pass ...

Towards the end of the day, I have had enough with the small issues plaguing the Omega, and my dad wanted a chance to take the car down the track. Dad was able to get a few runs in, and he didn't see/have any issues with how the Omega ran. He's quite happy in the high-14s.

Taking off the BFG Drag Radials and putting back on the other tires ... and calling it a day.
