There's a Cosworth entered that has gone 212mph, and Toyo is bring out their 1200hp Skyline to try for a record. There's some interesting discussion here: http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassing...8&t=549753&i=0

Some guy wants to bring out his Porsche 928 with a 1000hp shot of nitrous, but the event organizers have so far denied his entry.

No unusual/extra safety equipment needed other than a helmet Tim.

Hey Marty, either way it'll be fun man and we'll enjoy those beers one of these days. Just looking forward to seeing how it finally goes!

Hi.. We are thinking of trying to hit an event in the next year or two. Tommy Bahn and Eddie make over 1000 rwhp to hit the numbers they do. I can not wait to see how you make out! Tim
