Good Lord that's insane.
See him get loose going in to 3rd. Sucker just took off like a damn rocket at that point. That car is insane. Not much in the way of arrow on these cars.
Makes me wonder what's possible out there.
Hey Mike... when you retired the L I say we modify the aero and you hand me the keys and I'll hand you my will. I bet the L can do a 220mph pass with the right gears.

If you can wrestle the keys off Gary next year you can run it at Bonneville as it will be there in August!

Seriously though.. I'm going. My birthday is the 21st.
BAM is gonna have to happen in Sept again.
I have been 154 on a bike, ive gone 122 in a VW bug (drag), I have even done a 9 second quarter mile (70 Nova w/blown 454 pushing 200 shot of nitrous)...but that kind of speed...just...jaw dropping.

9 second quarter is gnar. Fastest car I've driven ran 10's but I never personally drove it that hard.
When you start talking about damned near 300 mph in one mile. That's serious business.
