Arrow Texas Mile: Oct 6-7

OK,

Like many have said, let's let the numbers do the talking...

Who is going?

0-1mile, unlimited number of runs for 2 days!!!

Dr. Joe on this board has gone 176 mph (GT2 Stage 4), which is
a very strong run!

other examples from past event:
2005 Ford GT == 168, and 169 mph
Ruf 590 Nardo == 181 mph
New Corvette 505 hp Z06 == 177, 178, 179 mph

Soft launch, pedal to the metal, full boost, intercoolers on fire,
heat soak; and thru the traps...

I want to see some GT700's and UMW stage whatevers there!!

C'mon guys lets have some fun!

Hope to see you there!

Tempting...I am slammed w/ work and am doing the 60-130 at Lone Star Sept. 29th.

Would I have to swap out my Nitto 01's (an R-compound)? I might go back to the PS2's for this event, if I do it.

So there is no elapsed time, just a top speed contest?

You could sign up for the street speed class for cars under 190mph. If you go faster than that, they might just make you keep it below 190mph afterwards.
