105-120 I may have to join you. 150 well I don't really feel like taking that chance. Let me know. I would like to run it.

Sounds like a fun event! Can't wait to see how this turns out! :unibrow:

You know.. there's not a not of difference between crashing at 150 and at 120.. It's like the difference between getting attacked by a 15-foot shark and a 12-foot shark... ;)

Oh, H*LL yeah. One of these days when I stop tearing the car completely apart over the winter, I would love to do this. I'm sure you will have a blast James, I'm looking forward to video. Thread subscribed

The outcome would be the same but the chances are lower. Let's not talk about crashing. That's going to be a blast!

What, pull your panties off?!? The car will just be getting going at those speeds... drop the hammer down.:willy:

Dave - they are fairly strict on first timers and, honestly, I don't disagree. When you start looking at all of the facets of the event it's a lot to take in and I think that a slower initial run through will pay off in the future.

That being said I am going to try to have them tech the car for higher speed classes. That way when we come back in the fall I'll know that the car will tech without issue.

It should be a blast.

I know you know I'm just joking... easy for me to say from my office chair.
The event will be super fun! So jealous ...again! But really you'll only be in like third gear at those speeds....
