you know how they made the national speed limit 55mph for gas saving. Well, the way up we cruised easy assuming there would be cops a plenty. used about 2 gallons (downtown ATL). way back, running from the rain and in good company (benz c230 coupe, 06 bmw 745, hooked white civic) about 4.5 or 5 gallons. Amazing what upping yor speed about 20% does for mpgs. WORTH EVERY PENNY by the way

glad you guys had fun man; it was nice putting face to names. that BMW is fucking sick man :cheers:

thanx guys hope everyone can make it out next year :goodjob:

Ha, we turned the 2step up and dumped a bit too much fuel. I fouled a spark plug. It cleaned up and revved right by the time I made it to the end of the track. I tried to make it back around to do another pass but that's when it started raining. It was acutally sprinkling at the top end of the top end of the track.

I ran a 9.7 @ 144 mph. Not my best, but I won 750.00 bux.
I was breaking up more than half track,spun all thru 2nd gear, and only cut a 1.8 60'

just watched your vid. Nice time ...especially considering the probs you had on that run. What are you hoping to run in the cooler air? You have already run a 9.5x correct? whats the weight and hp? Thats a smoking mph with that 60' :)

I'm trying for low 9's. Maybe high 8's if I'm lucky. I ran a 9.5 @ 156mph.
It has the ability to do 8's. I just got to get it down the damn track good, without any mishaps. It's funny how so many little things can happen. Right when you think everything is on point, something stupid happens.

And yeah, that's funny. The guy came over to my garage a while back and told me the same story. I can't remember the guys name either lol!
Cool guy though.
