We just got back and it was lots of fun!
The conditions weren't too bad, kinda windy all day, cold in the morning, hot towards the afternoon.
This is a great event, here's a few shots. Sorry just takes so long to upload and edit, if not I would of posted more.
Enjoy thanks for looking!

I only saw 2 fbodys that I can remember, the guy running the 95 Z28 had a 181mph run. I talked to him for a little while, really cool laid back dude. He said he was running 8lbs of boost from a supercharger. I didnt get alot of details on his setup. We mostly spoke bout advice on getting signed up for October hopefully.
The red supra pulled a 239 I think, and a bike ran a HOT 254, if I'm correct.

The blue one is a bugatti and the other is a ros(something).
SW went 246 on Friday then lost a rod on the second pass. Think Tommy Bahn went 243 today.
The ZR1 were running 181-184mph
The black Subaru in the pic above went 190 something.
Friends Z06 went 184mph with CAI, headers and a tune.
Lots of cars running 5-10mph faster today with the 15mph tail wind straight down the track.
Lots of Ford GT, Mustang GT500, KR 1000, and a mustang from PSI went over 200mph.
You wouldn't think we were in a recession with some of the cars that were out there.

i kind of guessed that but wasnt sure and since i was also talking about GT500s i didnt want people to think i was talking about those. haha. and the white one that ran a 204, it was sitting real low in the front correct? if so-yeah that car was nasty! i wanted to see that pewter? gt500 "super snake" run. after seeing that car.....i......uh.....KIND OF wanted a mustang
WOW!!! It went 204mph?? That car was over at my buddies shop getting work done to it. My buddy ended up getting 785rwhp out of it.
Here's some pictures of it getting the work done in California.
