OK, here is the deal...it is going to be a highway roll on on the Mexican Tollway. We will go 40-140.

Jamie, send your check to Paulie (Peter is WAY to busy w/ work and his brand new baby due anyday). Paulie will hold the money. If I win he gives it to me, if Chris wins you get your check back and $500 from me.

After talking to Matt I'd rather do a 50-130 roll (nothing higher or lower). 140 would require me to shift to 5th gear and I'd rather not have to grab ANOTHER gear. I have a few things I need to iron out, and I know you do too... Clunk Clunk... Hopefully you don't blow her up trying to keep up

There will be video because Sean apparently thinks races continue to go even if the car that's winning lets off the gas. There will be multiple views.

I may even throw in the Driftbox for the race. Be kinda cool to bust a 5sec 60-130, in the heat, while beating Sean LOL!

That's what I was trying to find out earlier. My limiter is at 7050 and I hit almost 143 in 4th? Is your limiter stock?

When I crossed the traps at the track I could have swore I was at 7400-7500.

And you didn't hit a limiter yet? Do you know where your rev limiter is?When I do my 60-130's I stay in it, in 4th, until I hit the limiter, just to make sure I don't let off too soon. My last run it was 142-143 or so...Hmmmm. Gonna have to check it again?

Just checked my 6.24 run 143.05 in 4th at redline (7050). Maybe hit the limiter and coasted a bit for a couple more MPH?

On the dyno pegging the rev limiter I went ~138mph. Thats the only thing I have. My guess is you have a larger tire than I do. What size tire are you running?

If you both agree to 50-130, I'm fine with it.

If Peter confirms he can't do it, I don't have a problem sending the money to Paulie. We will BOTH write checks and send to him ahead of time. Paulie gives both checks to the winner in the case of a no show.

This makes since Chris is running 325/25/19's which are 25.4 inchs tall, were your tires are 26.4 inchs tall which will let you drag the gear out longer. I am trying to get Chris to purchase a set of these but with the house he is broke.
