Thanks Matt. I hit 159 mph on 3 runs yesterday, thought I would hit 160 mph yesterday but that 20 mph head wind was to much to over come.

I believe it was a UGR Huracan. I can't remember now. If not a Huracan then likely a GTR, one of the usual big dogs.

There's no way on God's green Earth a Nissan GTR can hit 250 mph in the 1/2. Even if it had 50 psi and 2000 hp. The design of the car inhibits those insane speeds. It would crash and burn zero doubt. No stability and poor aerodynamics. It's a family car with a back seat.

The car that hit 250 was a yellow UGR Lambo. I believe it was a Hurracan. A while later, he white-smoked his engine @237 mph after it was announced that he was trying for a world record.

The second fastest car that I saw on Saturday was red/black GTR @ 239 mph. I did not attend on Sunday.

Did the GTR burst into flames after it hit 239?

Human spontaneous combustion has been scientifically and theoretically proven. No not for me today though thanks.

I couldn't care less really. Lots and lots of $$$$$ put in to physical alterations to just survive in those rice makers. Seen the pics. Unrecognizable from stock. Only 3000 hp?? Pfffff... I get that from a spark plug change.
