I thought about running in it, then waited too late, then it was full...Then I thought about watching, but 500 miles to watch other people go fast seems like a lot...

I heard Eddie Bello is running his 965. He recently did just over 236 mph on a standing mile and he's going for more. If I wasn't busy those dates, that would be worth the ticket price

There are a couple TT GT's and a Whipplecharged GT going down from Dallas. I doubt they are gonna run 254, but from what I hear this year is going to be FAST...

Whats cool is that he hot lapped that car at 220+mph. Where most of the other cars that were 210+ would only make 1 or 2 passes the whole day.
