MVS,
Thank you for posting helpful information! What car are you running this year and what speed are you shooting for? I am a total daredevil but any guy that does the mile on his bike has my respect. I took my first bike lesson a couple of months ago and can't fathom going over 200.

MVS

Car running: C63, Rs6, or TBD
Class: MPH Accuracy Class of some sort... depends on the car I take
M/C: It is alot harder than just cranking the throttle open and holding on.

IIRC, there was an Audi S8 that came out, but only ran 145+/- in the mile, you know they hooked up.... now if we could get a late model S65 out!

each year more " big guns " are showing up.. I am really excited that some MB's will come out!

LMK if I can help with anything.

The Texas mile sounds like fun. I am tempted to attend.

MVS

It IS fun, it IS.... come on down!

Marko:

From past experience:

Saturday will most likely be the busiest. On average, it took 2 hours between runs ( 1 car makes a run, gets back in line, 2 hours of waiting )

Sunday will be busy in the morning, but after lunch runs become quicker as people leave. Almost hot lapping towards the end of the day.

Friday is new this year, I would assume that it may be less crowded...but only an assumption, as this is the first year...

Thank you mvs,
Will try to swing by on saturday as a spectator

I'm gonna spray early, for about 1/4 mile or 11 seconds and then spray for the last 1/4 mile which is only an additional 5-6 seconds at those speeds. If you hit a wall and the car stops climbing you need to get out of the spray ASAP or you will pop it

Rick,
It doesn’t make sense to ship my car all the way to Texas to run under 200. I can do that in my own backyard. My motto is GBOGH, and I have no intention of putting NOS on this car. I would rather make the trip to cheer all of you guys on and offer help to anyone that needs it. I would love to see you; Jim, Vinnie, and anyone else from this board go over 200! I will be insanely jealous but supportive. I was serious about getting a Ferrari, so once I get it modified with NOS I will join you at the mile.

MVS

Well it doesn't look like the C63 is going, the Rs6 may not be here in time, so keep an eye out for this car:

BlackC230Coupe

LMFAO at the blonde sitting at the resturant jump like hell outside!

V12Godspeed

You think you could hit 200+ with the GT3?

BlackC230Coupe

That's a GT2 my man!

V12Godspeed

Opps my bad...now we are talking..LOL! What kind of upgrades? Didn't pay attention to the side assumed RS...

BlackC230Coupe

I am guilty of the same thing, I thought it was a GT3 at first too!

MVS

....And please let me clairify.. The above car is a clients car. He is not expecting to break 200mph, but he wants to get closer than his runs last Fall. We ran a 178mph on the 1st run and went downhill from there. The intercoolers were just heat soaking and the BIG wing on the back didn't help with top speed...

We do have Upgraded Exhaust, Larger Intercoolers, upgraded ECU Mapping, etc...

We are also bringing his buddy's Lamborghini for fun too.

I am looking forward to all the eye candy coming down this year!

The event is a week and a half away, who is going? I'll be there, with a neat little suprise.

Akademiks

He should run Mark's CL65... see whose the victim after that run

jrcart

Marko was actually tossing around the idea of going to the Texas Mile event, not sure what he has decided. I'll give him a call to find out.

MVS

I just got back last night from picking up an 2003 Rs6 in SC. So, I now I know what I will be driving. Now, will there enough time to get any of the " updates " done....

LOL

Does anyone know if they do nitrous refills at this event? I hope so, I'll only get about 2 runs out of each bottle.
