Default RE: Lee's speed

Thanks.

I think my high-speed days are over, at least for now. Some of the folks that helped build the engine have suggested putting in a temporary roll cage and running it down for a private session at Maxton. They think with good racing tires and race gas it would not only do 200+ (that, to coin a phrase, is a "slam dunk") but also just barely beat a 200 trap speed in the standing start mile. I'm not sure of that, but either way apro would drive it. If we get this scheduled, and it does well and is stable at 200+, I might make one pass there. Would like to legitimately say I have dirven it once at over 200 mph. Right now these plans are just that, a plan: I've got family stuff all summer and the business my partners and I started last July is growingso fast we can't find and hire people fast enough. I drive it but have no time for anything connected to playing with/getting more power out of it, which is a shame 'cause it is so sorted out and streetable, and yet has another pound or two of boost it could do with ease, etc.

Sounds hectic. Too much for my small brain to take in. Goodluck and be safe.[8D]
