| I attended a 1/2 mile racing event over the weekend in the Chicago Area [ www.wannagofast.com ] . I got 3 passes in before the rain - which was awesome considering the forecast I had a friend taping around the 3/4 mark with an iPhone and I had my GoPro rolling in the car. I was leaving the hole easy all day because I don't normally race on my radials and there's no sense gaining a few extra mph by risking a snapped axle or something (because of wheelhop)
First Run of the day - A supercharged C6. We just ran out about 30 feet and punched it - Ran 166 MPH

I ran 170 MPH. He ran 179mph [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztgEQ1BJ-3U ] In-Car [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Q3wC34yv0M ] Third/Last Run - My buddy in a 996T. I ran 168 MPH [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFZmLNEz8Hk ] In-Car [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2jGef2JQ_s ] 
The GTR's were ALL OVER THE PLACE. On Sunday morning I got to watch the AMS Omega GTR run 214 - I was sitting right at the finish line, that was pretty awesome. My car ran flawlessly. Not on hiccup, missfire, or even a coolant temp above 185. I am super happy with all the changes so far this year. Looking forward to getting to the drag strip sometime for some potential 9's!
