Did this event ever go down?? This is the first event that I've ever seen that no one has posted anything about it?? No pics, no feedback, nothing! Does that mean that it flopped or was it so exciting that anyone forgot to post?

I went....
got there towards the end. A couple of us were there.
At about 4:20 the only ones left was Tomas with the wht Cress and myself.
We saw the head-to-head runs and Tomas got a chance to run and got 162 in a 400rwhp 1jz Cressida...<<<--very impressive.
I got vids, will up load them soon.

Bro a 700 boosted Gallardo did 177. WeakSauce... We probobly don't take off like a bat out of hell but once we get moving we move where it counts.... uptop!
You can only imaging what will an extra 100rwhp do. Or how 'bout 593rwhp or even 712rwhp. Set the bar high and watch everyone else jump!

162 in a Cressida is crazy!

I was looking forward to pics, but nothing on none of the forums I go to.

Did the Gallardo run out of runway or was that the top end for it? Just curious...

I over heard a couple of guys saying it did more earlier. So I am guessing 180+.

That's the same thing I was thinking Dre! I'm predicting at least 180 minimum on the mile.. What do you think??

I don't know but I am really stoked to run and see what I get. But I would say in your case over 180 without breaking a sweat. If you hold it through the gears without spinning in your race tune you can make 190. To some it might be wishful thinking but considering how our cars move uptop it's very possible.They are at home up on the second floor..

Dan(pheobo) how much HP were you putting down when you did 201mph???

Dre the Yellow Gallardo did 197mph, they changed it from a stand still to a rolling start. For the couple of us that did go, had fun ... First time seeing cars run up top like that, weather was perfect. Most of the cars I believe we averaging in the 175-180's from a stand still, going into the wind, speeds picked up of course once they did rolling starts, pics coming ...

Thanks dre
I can't wait to see the video.I must say being at 162 in the cressida was one
of the best feeling,and not worring about a 5-0 stoping me lol.

We should all get together for the jan 3 mile run,It's going to be on a sunday
so everyone should plan ahead.Like that we all could go down the mile at least once
