I will have a wireless hotspot at my RV if anyone needs to use the net.

I won't be shooting at this one. Instead I'll be driving. I picked up a Supra a few months ago belting out 755whp at 25psi. Hopefully it moves.

haha im sure i will be down there drooling at various points throughout the day. For you veterans of the mile, last year it seemed there were a number of guys with smokers and grills out there. I know in the rules it states not to bring coolers or grills etc down there...I take it they are usually pretty lax about that stuff?

Does that imply that a helicopter would be OK?

I'm a helicopter pilot as well, but I don't own a helicopter so that doesn't help. What I need is one of those "beam me down/up" teleporters. One of our members is going to crack 230 and I would like to see it. Good luck gentlemen.

my first run was 213.5. Boost did not creep up to the proper level. Will run it again and if it doesn't creep up I will turn it up.

STRONG headwinds right now

Any signs of rain? Spirit and I should be there between 10 and 11 tomorrow if it remains fairly dry.

As that system passes through, hopefully you'll get a tailwind with clouds and cooler temps. 230 will be almost impossible with any kind of headwind. Are our friends from Performance Power there? :lol

Yes they are.

So is UR with Richard Holt's lambo. ART has a badass black Viper that has run a couple 232 passes. Black Lambo from UR did 241.

If Ray was here with the yellow car the 3 fastest production cars in the country would all be here.

Did a 215.6 with a strong cross/head wind. Boost is not creeping like it is suppose too. I've got someone that is going to take a look at in the morning.

Aloha GT got a flat on his last run. He's using my spare set of rear wheels. Game on.

Same thing happened to me last year - tire going down @ 172 -- really got my attention.

Team Jeff loaned me his rear tires/wheels so I could continue to play.

so what your saying is that I should be in the 217.9 range? hmmm sounds familiar:lol

I dont even need to show up to the mile anymore, I will always know what my car will run as long as you are there :)
