I havent driven that one, but I have driven at speed before. I went 230 or so, one way at Bonneville last year.

These events are pretty cool (and very hot too). I've been out there for the past two. A lot of different shapes and sizes of cars as well as drivers. No big corperate sponsers (there is food... to buy) so you can get close to the cars and talk with the crews, if you like, very cool if your into speed. I have some video if someone could help with uploading. Do I or should I become a finanical supporter of this site to be able to post? (It's only money for a good cause, no big deal). There's video of a motorcycle where the driver lays on his stomach about a 1 or 2 inches from the ground powered by a 100cc engine. Yesterday he broke the record for his class, 101.54mph! (previously 98mph) I don't know about you but that would be quite a thrill traveling that fast that close to the ground. Just one of the many things to see.

Thanks a bunch again Chris. We probably won't see you out there until it starts to cool off, at least me with the kids.

You do not need to be a subscriber to post pics or videos on MJR. If you want MJR to host them, then yes. But you can use any website you want to host the pics/videos, and then post a link (direct or text, either one) to that site.

be sure to post results as soon as you get back..i've been wanting to go out for years...my gf's dad has talked about flying out there sometime and i keep reminding him about the idea but nothing has materialized yet..maybe next year

[Dukes69]

We didn't get any records. The Driver said the engine wasn't running.
check www.scta-bni.org of other results. There are more meets this year, you can still make it to one.

Ill toot his horn for him, since he wont.

Hes one of the few elite members of the 200mph Club. In order to get into the club, you must break a record in excess of 200 mph, not just go 200. Its a pretty cool thing He broke it last year at Bonneville.

Way too cool
