I’ll seriously consider it! :tup: - - - Updated - - - @bing - - - Updated - - - The event claims 100,000 spectators when everything I can find about the first event (in 2013) shows nothing remotely close to that… YouTube videos all show spectators from the air show and fair that happened the same day. :gotme: ---

For anyone wanting to actually run their car…the safety standards are pretty strict. From Fire suppression to parachute to seats to harnesses and cages. Most of the rules are based on the speed and not just across the board. ---

It’s amazing to me that people still give that guy props after going to jail for his participation in this: > MOUNT VERNON: STOLEN PORSCHE RING – A race car driver was among three Mount Vernon businessmen arrested over the weekend on charges related to auto theft, the Westchester County district attorney’s office said yesterday. District Attorney Jeanine F. Pirro said Eddie Bello, 35, a drag racer of Porsches, stocked Porsche engine parts with defaced vehicle identification numbers at his auto body shop, while two other repair shop owners had parts and entire cars – including Porsches – that appeared to be stolen. ---

Would be cool to do… I’m already doing 160 by the 1st 1/4 mile, and have maybe 1-1200 rpm left… I would think im good for 190 now, but with less gear and taller tire Who knows, I would have to do the math. would be a cool experience for sure. ---
