Very nice, I did the chicago wannagofast earlier in the year. Braking at the end was kinda sketchy so hopefully they had more runoff for you guys.

On low/medium boost (13psi) I went 165mph. I had to shut it down though because my hood wanted to rip off. Did not feel like risking the hood bitchslapping me.

You and I spoke when I had my car parked up by the hangers on sat. morning. I told you to go look for a lid so you can run on the spray...

Holy crap, dude!
That would have been a crazy ride after the hood opened up on you at 160+ LOL

Hope you got that worked out.
