I have no idea what top speed was down the front. I do know that if I ever had a clean shot through Hog Pen, I was in sixth before the start/finish line. I have 4.57's. We got to the point where we were entering that section at 80mph(on my speedo). I have a 2.5L.

140 seems like a lot. I never got into 6th with my 4.10's, but I was 8,000+ in 5th on the front and back straights. I was going 125 +/- before the braking zones. Skip, you must've been hitting ~135 before the braking zones

Wow, we got off topic quickly here 
Scot, I will be taking my seat out tonight because it is a big PITA on the street. I will take some pictures for you 
Sit tight my friend.

that back straight is long and downhill isn't it? I thought there was a higher top speed back there than on the front straight? I know i was hitting 6th great with 4.77's on the front but i had stock gears when we did the full course....and i drove like a sissy...
a bit scary coming off that back straight at 140-150mph to whatever the top of that hill is called..... at least at summit you can drive off into gravel and live...

what happened to JFO? I heard he got it in the rear? and I heard his car got hit from behind...... seriously though..... I guess he was taking the car to Helms to get the turbo installed for next race? He had some body damage though this weekend didn't he.
Hit from behind? The LHV Crew will be busy before next race!
