Corvette made 23lbs of boost in 3rd gear, which was 5 more than yesterday, then broke the trans..

Camaro went 244 today, josh had to lift a couple times and at the end becuase of the crazy head wind.

The TX mile staff recorded 31mph head wind today. We are not going to try anymore today due to how unsafe the conditions are.

Wow! Those are some awesome numbers in those type of conditions. Do you think both cars can 250?

hell little to no wind would be welcome, nevermind a tail wind.

the conditions were so bad out there this weekend, it was about as shitty as it can get to **** up an event like this.

if the wind were even 10 mph in stead of 20+ they would have gone 250+

Thanks for the nice words, there is NO DOUBT both cars will exceed 250mph in normal conditions. Im not the kind of person to talk about what things can and should do, I just like DOING it, but after this weekend I have no doubts...
