Worlds fastest fraternity.

I hear Apollo went 219, AlohaGT went 220, Fubar went 205. WOOO! :cheers

Gentlemen,

My Aloha friend Kelvin is now officially the fastest man and #1 driver of Team 34. :cheers

Way to go Terry!!! Now put Monica's lighter butt in the car and that TT will go 230! :cheers

And to the Forums most persistent man Fubar, congratulations bro. Head for the t-shirt stand and wear it with pride. :cheers

Looks like our Texas Mile guru Jason is again the fastest GT pilot. :cheers

What a great group! I swear I will not miss another Texas Mile. :willy

If Apollo is the red GT he cracked off a 221 mph run before we left. I think we were set up next to his camp. That thing was moving! Congrats on all the fast passes, was awesome watching y'all all weekend.

Here is a video of my 224.5 mph run. Man, the exhaust sounds great (I don't really get to enjoy it while I am running). The sound seems to be off by a few seconds....hopefully when it finishes processing it will sync.

watch it in the HD mode.

My friend that was down there said it indeed had an oil pan tune up in it. Hense all the pistons are in the oil pan right now. LOL im sure they will say they lost a hose and it was unsafe to run there. He said blown up and yeah the hose came off when all the boost blew it off.......

My understanding on Performance is they blew up on their first run Saturday and put a rod through the motor. They left shortly after.

I unfortunately ran a 196.5 :( and then proceeded to roast my clutch on Saturday so it was down the rest of the weekend. Oh well 23lb pulley here I come with C14.

Congrats everyone else. Looks like I should have waited to run Sunday morning.

I was at the bitter edge of getting there and just had to be perfect to make it. I'm going to up the power and give myself some cushion for March. I'm glad Fubar got there though so I don't have to listen to him bitch about me taking his dyno time :)

It was great hanging out with the group and putting names with faces...we will be back to get that 200mph shirt
