When I left yesterday from Goliad at 5:50 pm Chip on his last run of the day hit 214.8 with a little tail wind and not pushing his GT to the limits. Sounded great and look very fast. He has hit consistently run 214.3 to 214.8 all day Sat. He is having a ball here and is in his element. Pictures to come. The bluebonnets are blooming along the runway. Ford GT's are the hit in Goliad this weekend. About 8-10 here. The TEXAS MILE is not a secret anymore looking at the crowds, Cars and bikes. Very fast WOMEN on Bikes 240-250+. WOW Tomy Hamon

Chip's measure of performance!

Congrats!! You seem to keep getting better and better!! :thumbsup

Are you running a race gas tune??

I'm running a 100 octain tune and 21 lbs of boost. I could turn up the boost to 24 because I'm burning C16 but I'm being conservative. This is my first time running a big power car. I've already gone 18 mph faster than my target (T-shirt) speed.

This TT is still pulling like a MoFo at 218 mph.

Anyway, the measure of performance I use is Mile top speed + drivers age! I'm kicking ass by that measure! :biggrin

what a great day yesterday! Im so exhausted , drove up early in the morning and got to goliad about 830am, first person I ran into was dave:thumbsup, checked in and waited in line for about two hours before it was my turn to run,

on my first pass I ran 221."?" :)biggrin inside joke between myself,mullet and kumar) than had to wait another two hours for the next run. on the second run I went 220.5.

unfortunately my nitrous solenoids were acting up all day yesterday and I was not able to get a real clean run with full bottle pressure all the way down the track, but I had a blast nonetheless and the ford gt community represented very well, most every one was in the 200+ range:thumbsup ,

chip it was real good to see you there and I could def. feel your joy and your new kinship with your newly modified gal.

tommy it was great to see you too, always enjoy chatting with you, we need to get together for dinner soon,

apollo it was great meeting you as well, enjoyed seeing you and and your gal

Nardo it was nice running into you at the paddock.

ray your car is sick man! I love it, Its sunday morning as I write this, so I hope you kill it today with a run in the 250's, good luck:thumbsup

dave it was nice to see you too buddy, I wish you had your car there as well, but I know it was difficult for you to get there in the first place.

Kumar I hear you went 221.1 thats hauling bro.:thumbsup

Jason my beloved adversary you are still two miles slower than me:biggrin I love you bro and Im real sorry about the car, but you know I have a spare engine waiting for you. btw, thanks for the use of the fire extinguisher, and the candy with was delicious too

all in all great weekend, good cars, and great friends.

I also have to thanks tiago for letting me use his trailer and brian for driving us to and from the event yesterday.

good luck to you guys running today!

just 2 mph slower than you this weekend. You still have to top my 226.2 :biggrin

So everyone knows my car probably burnt an exhaust valve. Car is drivable and will get a little work to strengthen her up and it will DEFINATELY improve my 226.2 next time..........you can count on it.

Soroush, my adversary and buddy you better bring your A game in October. If there is someone you and I like is a good close matched rivarly. Game on! :cheers
