Actually Mike, that was Jeff Labounty with Alex Bolanos, Andrew was behind us, and yes I do miss Andew here!!

 

As to the video, those overdog '99's look like they have 10 more HP compared to my torquey '02, that falls a bit flat at high RPM. Thanks to Ken for pushing me all the way to a 3rd in that race, he could have easily gone past me many times. Ken I owe you one!!!!

Man! Watchin' that video makes me wish the Runoffs at Daytona were going to be in 2014.

2 years to prep at least.

That race is going to be one hootenanny!

Don't know how it is possible for the 99 to be an overdog, but if so, the solution is super easy, just get a 99.

I saw the exact same thing at Road America in the STL qualifying while i was following you around.  You would dump me out of the corner in 3 but by mid 4th gear it looked like i had a turbo compared to your 02.

I hit 134.5 mph at Daytona this year. Many others were in that range, too. A push helps.  :thumbsup:

Uh, wow!!!  Is that GPS speed or off the speedometer?

What's the top speed work out to be based on fifth gear, diff, tire circumference, and rev limit?

Mine was TraqMate GPS speed. I was just under the rev limiter.
