cuz i wanna see them come back out and go faster!! no other car is going to make it, it's pretty evident (as I think you called it too) other car's just can't do it. UGR can.

They still have the record for the fastest speed ever reached by a street / non jet car in the standing mile in the great state of Texas. It is also the most legitimate of the current top speeds in the country.

I'm sure they will care when someone can take it down...

yeah guess your right. I was just thinking about when every anyone looked up tx-mile records they are going to see LMR's camaro first since most will be looking at the new records...

Oh well. No big deal I guess. Good job to LMR to finally getting it done. 3rd time's a charm right?

Congrats, 31MPH head wind is no joke, nice to fly a kite in to, not nice to try and fly a Camaro in to.
