Don't look like your going to hit that 260 like you were betting in the vette or the camaro.

So is Kelly's car ok - heard it blew a tire and had a small fire?
oil line and wiring is what I heard.

231 is awesome, but no where near the 260... if no wind tomorrow I wonder what It can run at a higher boost.

should be interesting. Are you talking about the yellow GT at the Miami Mile? I've heard a lot of debate about the timing system during that event.

A friends C4 vette from Cuero went 204 and 205mph on Saturday. The big deal is this is a naturally aspriated car. Only 3 or so cars have gone 200+ NA at the mile.

badass - not far behind the 69 Big Red Camaro mph wise with a much smaller engine.

blew the trranny in the LMR vette
Almost lost Kelly car at the end when the chute came out - but heard Josh did some bad *** driving and saved it. I thought it did 241 but it might be the 244 that muyluk posted

Josh was doing an interview when I got down to the trailer. They tied a bike that also went 244.6. Winds are picking up so don't think they will run it again.
