Thanks! Yeah, before I ran, my bro-in-law told me to be sure and get some in-car video, but I didn't get the camera mount built in time because my wife was in the hospital the day before I ran. As it was, I was up 'til 2 am the night before getting the car ready, then had to be up at 6:00 am for the 2 hour drive to the track. The sound at 160 mph was pretty amazing, with the engine screaming at 6200 rpm in 5th gear for over a full minute (I have 4.11 gears.) There was also a lot of road noise and wind noise at that speed, but all of it somewhat muted through my full-face helmet. The vibration level was surprisingly low; these cars are very well balanced.

That looks like an awesome run. I wish you had a vid shot from the side near the middle of the track area where you were nearing the top speed. Great run though and nice car.
