Many of us can only imagine running at those kinds of speed for so long and on a road, not a track. Nicely done and congratulations!!

The 200mph class must be one butt clencher, can't even imgaine that one. Best of luck and can't wait to hear about that one too!

Kind regards,
Constantine

By the way, who built the motor for you?

Congrats Tim and Cheryl! Wow. I can't wait to catch one of the NorCal area events and see you guys race. Maybe one of these days (after kids are out of college) I'll try it myself, it sounds just awesome!

LOL, yes Tara is hell-on-wheels for sure

Not so sure she could catch Cheryl yet though @ 164!

She has competed as a driver in our car @ 130/150 & 145 / 168. Now she will compete @150 /165. Next year at 200. If I misunderstood your post I am sorrry but she is awsome!

Not a dig at your wife...it says "no matter who is driving" referencing that it would be scary not being in control at those speeds with even with say, Mario at the wheel.

Nope, not all car! She handled the GAP (canyon section) at 125 mph. Exactly what I ask her to do. The reason she only did 164 mph was her tech speed was 168 mph. She could easily have done 200+ but she would be disqualified for exceeding her class limits. We will save that till next year when she runs in Unlimited.
