Texas Mile results
My first pass at 24 psi netted a exploded Seibon hood and a time slip of 172 mph. My drift box said top speed of 183 mph. I let off after the hood went. Drove back to Austin and retrieved my stock hood. The second pass was better at 182 mph using 26 psi, but spun hard in second gear. The last pass I left the boost the same and concentrated on 2nd gear. Finally got my goal of 190 mph, 190.78. I figured I was making about 750-770 rwhp.
The most exciting part of the Mile was a filming of a pilot show called "Back it Up". I got to line up with a 1100 rwhp Porsche for a 60 mph roll on. We were paced by a truck doing 60 mph, we then hit it at the 1/4 mile mark, and raced to the 3/4 mile marker. I won my first round. I ran 32-33 psi (825 rwhp) and brake boosted 17psi according to my logs. I got him by about 2 cars. My second round paired me with Ross Baird (900whp, NOS, and drag radials). Mind you, I used Bridgestone Potenza 050 for the whole weekend. I spun it real hard in the top of 3rd gear, but was no match for his traction and power. He got me by about 3 cars, good win Ross.
I had a great time and would recommend the event for everyone, especially now as a driver
