He gets the badge and colors when that beast fires up for the first time 
thats not how i remember it ,as far as i remember in the "code of aircooled " handbook it states
" if a current member leaves one club to join another club ,that person before receiving there NEW colors needs to prove themselves worthy by lining up against the "WOK " and running in the 12's at over 100 mph and watching the club they left cross the line first "
or it may be something like that .
Congrates Dave and see you at mission
