Here are a few clips from the race in 720p HD, shot with my GoPro HD camera mounted just in front of the windshield. The first clip is the start of the southbound leg. We had a target speed of 105mph and a tech speed (do not exceed) of 124. The goal is to run up past 105 at the start and then settle in at that and average it the entire run. But there are radar guns along the course and if you exceed your tech speed you are DQ'd. With a 3.50 rear axle and the .64 5th in the TKO 600, we were turning 3k rpms at 105:



Here is a clip mid-course southbound as the terrain starts to get hilly:



Another clip headed north. For you purists, you'll notice my speedo is waving right at 100 mph...turns out its off 5 mph at that speed:



And lastly, the northbound finish line. Notice my navigator is working the stopwatch against total elapsed time at that speed (33:43) and I have a countdown timer in the center of the steering wheel working down to zero. I had to hit the binders as we crossed the line to try and burn off the last couple of seconds. We finished the race .919 seconds fast against 105.000. Third place.
