My hesitation isn't about the car itself or how it was tuned. For me it's simply not knowing what to expect in speeds that i have never done before . I have never had a car this fast or a road with the same opportunity as the one mile event.

I am not the type of person who simply acts withoit thinking it through . If I was learnig how to dive I would start at the 1 meter, then 3, then 5, and 7 before going off the 10 meter platform . In fact years ago I made it as high as the 7 meter but froze on the 10 . Maybe that's what's fixed in my mind . I realize my car can go very fast . I have simply never taken it to its limit and have doubts as to whether or not I am ready .

I am not saying no. I am also not saying yes. I am just thinking about it with uncertainty .

EVOMS STAGE I....stock suspension/parts.


173MPH...front end gets light (floaty).
If not an absolute straight line its a little scary.
