13.55 @ 110 I was easily in a sub 13 car, but i blew the Headgasket.

Headlifted on first run / pushed air into the coolant system. Hot Air pocket, POP. White smoke, luckily it happened on the access road & not on the strip.

Got to learn to watch the gauges better.

Here is the video.

Just the fact that you went and did the run is cool. Many of us sit on the sidelines and wonder. Sorry to hear about the head gasket.

Crap im pissed i didnt go now. I went last week and was dying to see a 944. Couldnt make it this week cus tuesday me and my buddy got in an accident in his MK3 Supra after a lil chase with the cops. Story short we braked to slow down for cops, breaks locked, we slowed from 110 to 60 before we hit a curb sending us 40 feet and all 4 tires off ground. LMFAO his car was FINE, NOT EVEN A POPPED TIRE!
