We were talking about this on Corvetteforum. Lame to not bring the cars out to a sanctioned or public event.

I think a few of us should get together and have our own mile event. I would like a 300 mph slip. We can also invite Guiness, because I like that beer.

Trying to pick up this large piece of land in Alvin. Matt made a hightech drawing of how we want to do it. Problem is Alvin built that new school. We figure we can judge our speed by swings moving due to air. Full flip of the swing = 250mph, double flip = 300mph+

I think it's honestly legit idea. Clearly you can see we would pull out of our shop and be right there.
