Scott,

Actually, you are at the mercy of the Iraqi inability to self govern.

In regards to Tommy's run (will be going to his celebration party tomorrow!) man, those tires were barking in every gear....incredible!

Well that was boring. He could have been going 20mph for all I know. There were no gauges or passing scenery or anything to indicate how fast he was going. I don't doubt he went that fast as I'm sure it was measured there at the track, but you definitely don't get any indication he was doing anything special by the video.

I can't wait to see the outside video of the car. He destroys the tires up until 4th gear.

sdorn is 110% wrong on this one. Engine, tires, and rapidly passing scenery made it very real...I had the sense that a spin out and death were very emminent. The chute pull increased the drama.

Anyone who has gone over 160 knows how scary it gets at very high speeds.

S dorn,

You obviously bumped your head.

I spoke to Tommy before his run (and have my own video of it).

The car is way beyond insane. Do you have any idea how difficult and

how much ***** it takes to keep THAT car going in a straight line. Wow!

I just said the video was boring. I am sure it was very exciting live. I've driven at 150+ mph which was scary enough. 200 mph would be crazy. I would have liked a better video with some indication of the speed and excitement. Hopefully when it is all put together they can add in some shots from outside the car or something that will make it better. No music though, that ruins car videos as you can't hear the car.

That's insane. You would think that there is a better way to release the shute other than having to take your hand off the wheel at that speed
