Raced a SuperShark with my 5 speed
50mph to 100mph pull.
Wife was driving the SuperShark and I was in Helmut.
We lined up and held steady at 50mph, and at my nod we went. By the time I hit a hundred she had me by almost eight car lengths...
Man these cars are fun!!!

Ken-- Nope not down the driveway but on the four lane over in Resume Speed Idaho...
I had a 20 year class reunion last weekend and we drove over with two sharks so we could each have one kid and keep them from fighting all the way there and back.
Andrew-- It was Lisa that wanted to race, which is Not normal for her, so since she was finally having fun in one of the sharks (instead of complaining that I have too many) I played along.
And no explosions or flames were involved at all during the whole trip...
Greg-- Yeah she came back... I would have reeled her back in if we had gone a bit further...
Kevin-- Yes only eight... Helmut isn't a weany mustang or camaro, and I can make that car move when I want to.
Just wait till I put a turbo on him then the eight car lengths will be his...
Macreel-- Yeah I had to pave it got tired of washing the cars and seeing them get dirty again by the time we got to the end of the drive. And yep the bridge is still there.
Darien-- Dude you need to get your wife out for a little racing... Mine after this trip is actually getting into the whole "Shark Experience"

Shane,
Keith and I are headed out to Louie's tomorrow. You should bring that bad boy down, too.

Good to see you, wish I hadn't been so busy wrenching!
Pshaw, only 301hp/290.5tq rw-sae.
Looking back at my (old dyno run) with a best of 312/301, it seems to me now that I'm making the same power, just with my safety, smafety, knock sensor/auto-retard system turning on the retard (see ST - octane loop). I should have made an override switch for the the knock sensor.
Could be other changes I've made, including 18" rims, but I dunno. We did try loosening the straps, that made no change.
