    Good pun!

    Just WAS (past tense) worried that clamps might fail, and what a disaster that would be.

    As is everything with this whole thread, the first start was AWESOME like everyone said. But it was the dramatic wait that brought back old times for me. It would have been great if it had started on the first or second crank, but the longer it went the more the anticipation built. I was back in the pits again wondering what was going on, and why it was only doing a pop. Then after the pause and then a lot more primer fuel it suddenly hit on all cylinders. WOW!

    I'm going to watch it again, but first I am going to get a lantern with a methanol and Blendzall mix, fire that up, then watch the video again.
