I was there - and Saturday was hot as hell! It was cool seeing all the cars lined up - and so many turbos, blowers, and lots of boost!
My only complaint would have been the food prices - and the parking for spectators. I'm really glad I took my 4WD truck and had no issue pulling in and out of the ditch to get into the field - but I saw one car rip off its rear bumper pulling in.

I went Sunday--it was nice not being hot and rain barely held off. I saw that 250mph lambo make it's run, it was insane.
I made two runs then pretty sure I hurt a head gasket. Drove there and back. Basically stock bottom end LS2 w/ECS kit.
163mph for me

Lost about a gallon of coolant, sprayed everywhere out of the reservoir, all down the side of the car, etc. and it's getting hot really easy now. Going to do some more testing but planning on head gasket, arp studs and new lifters. Oil looks fine, its just pushing combustion gases into the cooling system it looks like
Not sure on RWHP. Should be high 600's at minimum I'd think. 13psi boost, e85, cam, long tubes, etc. Not bad for stock bottom end

Yep, I was there both days and had my share of troubles as well. But in the end, had a great time! Front splitter got killed during last pass on Saturday but in the end... nothing a little duct tape and a rattle can can't fix!!

Thanks to the Kooks team!
Not to mention, got to hang with the Kooks team all weekend! They had just finished up a bi-mode exhaust setup for me to go along with the side exhaust! Either out the side or the back at the push of a button. They custom fabricated a 3" X-pipe and muffler setup out the back with a CAD designed tip to fit my rear diffuser.

I went up on Saturday as well. Super hot out. Didn't take the vette, and another one glad I took the truck when I saw the spectator parking area. They really need to change that ESP considering the crowd these events draw.

No crap - I am really glad I had my beater Duramax to take!
