Nitro,

Where is the standing mile event you are thinking of? Is it Maxton? If so, the Z28 you referred to was asked to leave when he went 200 without the right safety equipment, right? Seems like it might have been one of the guys from Speed Inc.?

I see the bug has bitten you, as you have gone from not wanting to modify the stock interior, etc. to talking cage, and harnesses. I must have missed when you said what your suspension and brake mods are. All you mention is high spring rates and the biggest brakes that will fit. Any specifics?

I have said it before and will say it once more. Most of the posts I have read here are expressing genuine concern for your personal safety and that of those in the immediate vicinity when you make your attempt. If you can actually pull it off and have it documented, most, if not all of us, will think it is really cool.

High speed wheelspin would worry me a lot without a way to create some downforce. I have experienced wheelspin at around 100 mph with little more than half of your horsepower, and it was a little creepy. At twice that speed I am afraid that things could happen pretty fast if the car gets out from under you.

Good luck.

Look me up at WOW next weekend, I will be right across from the 32 Ford display and the pinstripe artists. There is a good chance that Jeff S will be there. It would be good for you to pick his brain. He has a lot of experience in high speed competition.
