    I started the race going up to 120, car felt great, much more "planted" than last year. I accelerated to 139 and maintained that for 20-30 miles. A/F was in the mid 11's, switched to 5th gear and stayed at 135 for another 10 miles. I blew passed this corvette during the race, kinda funny. Finished in 43 minutes.

    I can host the videos for you, but uploading 12 gigs will take a lot of time.

    we don't have to don the equipment until we get to the line...
    [​IMG]

    there is a big truck stop where everyone is put in the proper order and cars are sent out every 30 seconds...
    [​IMG]

    this is right at the start line on highway 318....
    cars line up and they are sent out every 2 minutes...
    this is where everyone gets help from someone nearby to get into their equipment...

    [​IMG]

    the corvette to my right is the one I blew by in one of the videos, I'll see if I can upload that...
    I mean I love all the guys there but the vette guys are a special interesting breed...
    it's nice getting one up on them ;)

    [​IMG]

    the big yellow thing is the start line...

    here is my favorite video, it's long but just the start it's pretty cool, you can see the speedo (it's 5 miles slow) ...
    I love it!
