Thanks Tommy, 197.8 mph on my second pass on the stock OEM tires... There was one hell of a lot feathering the throttle....

Speaking of which, I had to feather it one time on my last pass in 5th gear, spinning the tires at about 190 mph...

I will be going back to the Mile, lots of times, but not ever without Hoosier R tires... Traction is a huge issue with 1200 HP... even on the big end...

On a side note, I met a guy that will probably be calling you about a Twin Disc Carbon Clutch for his Camaro... 750ish HP is his goal...
