Sure, honestly feels pretty good, that car gets a little light but tracks straight wind is not
that noticeable ( to me) because I'm focused on 3 things only:

(1) Center Line of the runway
(2) Tachometer / Shifting
(3) Flashing red lights that tells me to get off it

Need 6700 RPM for 201 got to 6600 and change. I'm certain it would have made it if we had more time that day. Here's how the day played out:

Run 1- 195MPH

Run 2- 27MPH Broke and coasted in. Find and correct problem -- electrical short.

Run 3 - 199 MPH About 5 minutes after getting into the grid the announcer said that would be the last grid of the day- so just got in under the wire to get a third run; -that was close, what a day!
