Dave: I think you would have a blast out on the salt, the people are great, and the whole scene out there has a cool retro vibe. The August event( SpeedWeek) is the biggest, with over 600 entries turning up. By the last 2 days more than 1/2 the entries are headed home with broken cars and grenaded motors. The September and October events are much more low key, but tend to bring out the serious players who are trying for a record...
I am no expert out there, but I am learing a lot from those who are. If you head out, give me a heads up and come see us in the pits.
Al Show: The world record for any street roadster or gas roadster is about 249 mph..that is with a massive "Klien" big-block motor. This past summer we had a few passes at over 200mph. there is a point in a roadster where Horsepower looses out to wind and traction.....at that point your heading down the course back end first ( the 32' is actually more areodynamic going backwards. I am changing out a few things that will hopefully let us set all three class records at over 200mph ( the previous long standing records in this class were 141mph to 146mphJorgen Moller - CEO
