I'm proud of you for being proud of your niece. I always like to hear people brag on their young relatives. So often all we hear is criticism it is just refreshing.

Update:
I was in Chicago when she was down in TX, but I stayed around long enough for her to come home and get the news. Bottom line is, it didn't go. The team didn't do any testing at all before they loaded up and headed to TX. Really unfortunate there. Not even one run down the street. They had a drag link snap, the radiator was too small, and the engine lost oil pressure right away, so they didn't even get to run that truck. Their driver did find someone to loan them a Toyota Supra for a run, so they managed to not completely waste the day, but it was no bueno for the team, overall. They're pushing 800 HP from a small block, and they had a radiator from a 4 cylinder Honda on there. It might have kept it cool enough for a 1/4 mile run, but not much longer after that. I feel badly for her, but she's in good spirits, she found value in the experience as a whole, and she learned a LOT about how this stuff can go sideways. Since this is related to the school, I don't know what the future holds for her and that team, but I can tell ya, she's not done yet!

That's okay. The important thing is they built the truck and went to the competition regardless of the track result they are all winners.
