How to Fail, but do it in style
Well last weekend was Hot Rod Magazines Top Speed Challenge race in Wilmington Ohio. I've ran at the challenge for the last 6 years and have set some records so I seem to do mediocre well. I drove my Vette out there (670 miles door to door) pulling a trailer and ran it. I had the tune set marginally safe and felt good about finally being able to safely go 200 if possible. So here is the on the road pic and the only video that came out, unfortunately it dips at around 160mph, but you can see the chute deploy at 33 seconds at 192.17mph. Best pass of the event was 192.2mph. Oh I got 17mpg pulling the trailer averaging 75mph also, trailer is on Honda Civic 14" rims btw. So I failed at the task, but I made it there and home and had a good time watching friends finally break into the 2 club.
