Todds mile run was on a pretty basic 24/18g setup. The new trap speed would be more indicative of the new mods.

Guys, I will be at the Mile spectating on Saturday. Anyone that would like to use/borrow my driftbox, just holler at me via PM and I will give you my cell phone number. I would be happy to save the data from your runs and verify/graph it.

You cannot go 192 mph in a standing mile at 525 HP. Impossible.

Your trap is the same as mine was.

You went 192 with a tailwind and I do not believe it was ungodly hot
like the day I ran. Hopefully conditions will be favorable again. If your car has alot more power, now, then you should go considerably faster, right?

All the B.S. gets thrown out at the mile, the wind (in one's face)
really pushes a car to its limits.

Good luck to everyone there, it is really going to be alot of fun !!

See y'all in Texas

How is it impossible if it happened?

With favorable conditions Todd should definitely do better as his car is significantly faster than his last outing at the mile. Hopefully the conditions will be favorable for the whole weekend and we can see some Porsche records fall or be created!

Are you and Eric both coming down Marty? Look forward to meeting you both.
