I ran my stock 2005 cadillac at the last MM in oct. And i can tell you the tape
Works! My last pass of the day with everything but the grill taped was 153.6,
up some 4mph from my best eariler run without tape.
Its a great event. Lots of fun and mike borders and his group do a great job..

So tonight there has been gusts around 55mph. There's supposed to be a tail wind tomorrow of about 20mph so Josh might over shoot his goal. He wants to break 200 but if he goes above 205 then they won't post his speed and it won't be considered official (because he doesn't have the safety equipment to be allowed to go above 205), so he basically has a 5mph window to play with. But the Bugatti is here and obviously we're hoping to outrun it!

A little update from today.... wind was all over the place, and it got really hot by the end of the day. The DA was 4000+ by noon.
I only ran my stage 2 of boost (845rwhp) and my best run of the day was 199.3 with me pedaling it at the end.
Another eventful run was went the car broke loose at 170mph and went sideways on me toward the dirt. I saved it but it scared the crap outta me. I tried another run with the grill block on, and overheated it a bit, so I'm going to try again tomorrow with more air coming in.
We took it easy, getting used to the new changes, so hopefully ill hit 200+ on my first run tomorrow!

Awesome! 199 isn't anything to scoff at. 
I was hoping to get out there tomorrow with my bike, but just a few days ago, I found out you need a tethered kill switch and steering damper. I could rig some kind of kill switch up, but I couldn't find a steering damper in time, and without it, they won't let me run over 130 mph...
Keep us updated... are you getting footage of the runs?

yeah I have 2 goPro's. Im going to try to tech in the morning with a friends Hans Device, so I can be in the 230mph class. I think it should at least be in the 210-215 range
right now I'm limed to 205 and if I go any faster, they won't even show my speed
