I had a blast today! Enjoyed visiting with Fubar, jbsteven,THughes, Cody from ART, John Hennessey and a lot of other good people. I think Tanner Foust drove my car more than I did. I think I'm guaranteed some camera time since he shot the closeing sequence for his show with my car. There were some very exotic cars here you won't see everyday, Carrera GT, GT 2, Bugatti (not the Veyron), Gallardo, but no Ferraris. In fact in my four trips out here I've only seen one F430 and they never ran it that I saw.
217.8 so far! I'd love to see 220 tomorrow but if not it's still been the best day I've had in a long time.
Thank you Ford for building such a special car and Jason Heffner for making it fly.:cheers

The Bugatti was a EB110. It has 280 miles on it. Only 126 ever made.

John is being very modest. Although he didn't bring out his big guns (the Twin Turbo Vipers and the TTSC GT's) he did bring some cars that impressed everybody.
His slightly modified GT-R, and correct me if I'm wrong John, was running high 180's and his also modified ZR-1 turned mid 190's. The only other ZR-1 was stock and wasn't nearly as impressive.

Thanks Trent. Some of that cold Canadian air is supposed to get here tonight so that will make it easier to gain a couple mph. If I make it it's all because of you.
And if I don't I'm gonna blame that on you too.:biggrin

lots of fun today. our ZR1 with 602 rw hp ran 190.6 mph and our GTR with 620+ rw hp ran 191.8 mph. we are very happy with both. i think the stock ZR1 was able to manage a 181 mph run. see you in the morning for some cooler, drier air and faster speeds for all we hope!
There is no way I would come out here an only do 4 runs, just not my style.
those 187 mph runs I did at the end were back to back so at the very least we know these cars are consistent even when fully hot.

I am VERY proud of the runs I did today. Remember this is with ONLY a pulley, tune, exhaust and air filters.
195.515
195.477
195.227
195.477
anyone else notice the EXACT same time on Run 2 and 4? We did have favorable winds and cool temps.

All the yelling and screaming I was doing at the car while going down the mile it should have been going faster! :lol

i see that you only made 4 runs today. it looks to me like you picked up 6 mph in speed. did you have a tail wind? what was the air temp and the DA?
15-20 mph tailwind and 50-65 degree temps. medium humidity. EVERYONE was posting 4-7 extra mph today. Lots of people today so only 4 runs and we left earlier than yesterday.
