Hey Les,
Why haven't you brought this bad boy out to VCR so that we can take a look at it?? Maybe Sharktoberfest

Well if you would stop slamming on the brakes for turn 1 at the start / finish line at Road America you might get there

Great pic! If my speedo is to be trusted (I think its ok) your run beats my almost 30 year old car's top speed by about 20 mph.

What other 18 year old car? Mine! Even before the SC, I was clocked cruising at 165.2 at 6000 feet above sea level.

So 160mph/5800rpm = 0.0275

0.0275 x another 400rpm to redline = 11mph

160 + 11 = 171 at redline!

cool! have to call you "Top Gun"

I don't know exactly what your photo shows because I can't see any photo in your post, but judging from the other posts, perhaps it is something like this??

Of course I haven't the slightest idea how this photo was brought into being, and think it must have been made by some Menehunes who took my machine out one night while I was sleeping.

I would have noticed. I wouldn't have necessarily cared, but I would have noticed.

No offense intended, but I'm curious...is she blind?
