damn that was good footage!!!!!
as for tires, this is what art does, quoted straight from them
"at the advice of Hoosier, we are only putting 4 runs over 225 MPH on each set of tires. Expensive yes but you can't put a price on being as safe as possible! After seeing the Corvette flip and the Camaro spin out due to failure of the tires they were running, we will stick to the advice of Hoosier!"
what yall think? too excesive? idk, might be a good idea when going for the record tho! isnt those drag radials a R rated tire?

something along those lines. Alot of the supra guys use those. Aren't the best down low @ full power but with the ams-1000 should be able to regulate on boost comes on.
239.7 on 20's in insane! I have no doubt they will be back out and ready to go faster!

You know what they say, you can't be a real race car driver unless you've crashed your car at 100mph+. Congrats to Hinson on earning that title. That's one expensive certificate though.

You have been around enough racing sanction bodies to know that bystanders, albeit photographers or not are supposed to stay away.
