[AT] Pacer back online

[Spencer Yost]

Ouch!    I must admit I almost didn't recognize myself with dark hair :-)

For those who weren't there it was a pretty simple story:  we  hooked the belt pulley up to the dyno and the operator simply hollered out the results "1-7-3".  Everyone in the crowd looks stunned in amazement. Some people tried to insist the dyno operator meant to imply a decimal point, but i don't think so.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
