The front straight is 3/4 mile up hill the first half, slightly up hill the second half. I hit 6700 rpm in 5th, 3.89 gear, 26.5 inck bias ply (do thay grow?) slicks. The second staight is down hill going into turn 5, I hit around 8,000 rpm in 4th. I think my speeds are around 160 to 165 mph, but I don't know for sure. I run and hide from every one on the straights except for Greg Lapointe(660 hp ffr). Some of you big block guys may be faster(on the down hill part of course) than me, but not many. It is a brick past 140 mph, I have 3 inches of clearance up front, the car is stable, no flights yet. I look forward to meeting you guys. Don, I am only teasing about the big block thing, figured I would throw some watermellon talk your way.scott
