I see. I thought it was a little fast for that car. Does anyone know what the KR600 hit in the mile?

I saw Big Red to 204ish.
The VW GTI was the most impressive when it did 196.

Aww, I guess my car wasnt fast enough for anyone to talk about. I guess its kinda easy to miss in a sea of super cars. I went 161 on Saturday, thanks in part to the tail wind, but I was very happy. I love this event and I know the venue is up for sale so hopefully they will keep having it.

Thanks, I saw your car out there last October, and the write up in GMHTP. Your car is ridiculous, that thing is a beast. Will you be trying your luck at the mile again??

204mph into a headwind - I think this is the 2nd car ever car to go over 200 out there that is naturally aspirated.

Did it finally make a clean pass on Sunday?? I only saw one and it looked like they were having tranny/clutch issues.

They broke a finger on the clutch going into second on Saturday.

Glad you got the SS into the 160's on Saturday.

Yeah I was only running on Sunday and I was plagued with boost problems. It would hit 16psi hold strong to 5000rpm and then it was like a brick wall. I was at 160 before the 1/2 mile and would get out of it and then try to get back in but it would not pull anymore. Found out that my 408 was choking the little turbos. Time to go bigger.
