I was full throttle at the start of the red section there and near redline in 4th gear by the braking point at the end of it. I remember seeing 95mph, but wasn't going to focus too hard on the speedometer. I'm sure we all touched on 100mph there. It's hard to call that a "back straight" because it was curved enough to cause lateral Gs almost all the way through.
I don't know about you guys, but I had a blast! I think that super long sweeper was my favorite part simply because it was ***** to the wall. LOL

I say around 105 right before the brakes. If you guys liked that look for the pca time trail events. The time trails are more open like a track and you loop for three straight laps before pulling off.

I have a short 7 mile drive home - and i park in the in a covered parking garage - almost got home - but as i was driving i saw this - 115dfpsi awesome 
cool thing is that with NO t-stat at all in the car - the temp remains below half with a/c on full nice
also installed wheel bearings on Subaru so both rears are done - also did a compression test and I'm thrilled all 4 registered 158psi - so new plugs for that thing today w00t.
I'll have to clear it with the wife - but i'll try to sign up for the 18th - juggling a few things this month - do you guys sweep the track at all with a truck or brooms? - probably dumb question but i thought i'd ask -
Skrilla - that sounds like the Italian car event? I missed it this year -

lurking around on youtube and spotted a recent video in GTM's channel of a blown VK56DE in a Titan.... I'm guessin this is all over TitanTalk or whatever is the popular board for those, but thought I'd share it here anyways, since it's a popular Z dragger.
