I had that moment at Big Willow when a 430 Challenge car blew past me at 160+ while I was going 125. Humbling experience.

It's one thing when a car powers past you with a 10mph speed difference, but when someone blasts by going 30-40mph faster than you, you literally feel like you're standing still.

I'm there on Friday and Saturday with Trackmasters. Lotus Challenge will be there too so you'll see two dozen other Lotus running out there. Should be fun!

Just a tad under 700rwhp on race gas. 66xrwhp on pump. I'll probably just run it on pump to get a feel for it, as it's going to be a scary handful already. I'm not allowed in the street category anymore if I plan to run under 11.5s or over 130mph IIRC.

I believe its under 11.50 or above 135mph

if you trap over 135mph you're FLYING!

For my first time out and depending how busy it is, I'm going to bench race and guess 11.2 best and 131mph trap best. I'll work on it from there, and tow up one night there or to SoCal and really try to move 'er down the track quickly. But for now, I want to drive her home.
