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.

that is awesome :cheers

with a mere 609 rwhp i think you did an outstanding job :thumbsup

I have to agree with you. The stars were all aligned for perfect runs today. I talked to one guy who couldn't gain anything in his Porsche but everybody else seemed to be hauling the mail. Those Supras are insane. There were two more today turning high 240's. One bike did 250, and another one went off the end of the track but luckily didn't fall down. Unlike yesterday I don't think there were any serious breakdowns.

All in all, an excellent day for just about everybody.












Oh by the way, I did



223.007!

I did get a couple of videos of the run. You guys will like my talking to the car and a fist pump at the end. I will get them up in the next day or two.

Speed filmed one of my runs from inside the car and did a quickie interview. Fingers crossed I get a little airtime

Yep, we will think up something good for the GT in October. Party in the back has my vote so far.

A few pictures from the event. I wish I had gotten more of the GTs. I guess I was just shooting things that I don't see that often.

That is absolutely ridiculous. 195 mph for a car with very minimal modifications is unbelievable. What a monster. Wind or no wind, there are a huge amount of supercars that will never even hit 195, let alone do it in a mile.

Congratulations, big time.

That is amazing Keith. Congratulations. It wasn't that long ago that it was only the wildest rides that would go over 220 period. For you to go out there and bust off a 223 mph run in a car you can drive daily speaks to what an incredible platform the GT is, and how ridiculously entertaining it becomes with a set of twins. Wow!
