Oh, man. I was just gonna tell Soroush - we are not worthy.
But now Jason has blasted a 219 - you guys rock! And so do your cars!
And a 243 in a Supra? Wow! More details whenever you can, please.

here is my run, just to put in it perspective, I did not have the proper safty equipment to run over 190 mph, I know I was going to get kick out once I made my pass over 190, the weather yesterday was extremely hot, and regardless of "atmosphere in a bottle" when the IAT's go up everyone loses quite a bit of power my car is no different, I completely bogged off the line and lost about thirty to forty feet(bc of big lopey cams) but once I was back on she ran well to hit 217.9 on one of the hottest days the mile has seen so far:wink I wish I was there today to see what she could do as evidenced by my good friends run JBstevens, without changing anything on his car since yesterday he has pick up 7 miles per hour, he went from 215 to 222. thats awsome congrats jason,:cheers
I wish I was there:wink but Im having too much fun hanging out with my gt buddies here in austin. :cheers

It was yesterday. Let's just say, you definitely understand the "dry heat" joke after standing out there. It was HOT. Even my face is sunburned - and that is coming from AZ :biggrin
Yesterday we cooked, today I had the heater on. It should be a good day there.

Yes Frank, Sorry Helenor is the " Fast Cat " of the litter...:biggrin
I was pleased as punch. My conservative Pulley and Tuned car ran 185.327 MPH in a late morning run just before lunch and I backed it up in a late afternoon run with a 185.106 MPH .. I only gave up 2 tenths of a MPH with all the heat !! It was great to take down some of the Whipple guys !! ...:biggrin Fun was had by all...:thumbsup
As a follow up note : Any speeds recorded on Friday could not even be compared to the speeds on Thursday. It is at least 20 degrees cooler today ( Friday ) We ran in some brutal heat yesterday. :ack

Does anyone know if the PPR white/blue stripes car out of Fl was there? Just curious to see what it ran, as i seen last weekend they only got 220 out of it in FL at that mile deal and they said it made 1384rwhp. Should go alot faster than that.
Congrats to soroush and the rest of you guys that is flying. :cheers

Congrats to Jason and the rest for those great runs. I know Jason must be thinking how much better of a run he could've had if the conditions were like it was Saturday in March. Maybe 230...?

I believe if the wind conditions were like the March Mile I would be all over the 230mph mark with Saroush at 2 mph less than me if we was even here to run. :lol
There was a red GT running in 180's today and Cody in the camo GT did not have a good run. Hopefully he will be ready for the morning. No other GT's ran today.

i see the driver in the vid shorted shifted his last 2 gears. he claims he went 228 mph on another pass but has no evidence of it that i have seen :shrug
that GT seems certainly capable of 228 mph to me though if he doesn't short shift it in the higher gears
