Thumbs up The Sound of 200+ MPH

For those interested in what your car sounds like at 206 mph, here it is. Video courtesy of Marc & Susan Thomas. Marc was standing on the shoulder, a brave and crazy man.
Turn up your volume and enjoy

Very cool, and what you didnt hear is that for about 15 seconds or so the ongoing drone of the engine exhaust, as it goes away.
It lasts longer and is louder than all of the other cars

The weekend went well overall. I will post tomorrow after I get caught up at work.
I don't know how fast the fastest women is at Silver State but according to my GPS Cheryl kicked everyones A$$. 209.9 mph and she won the 160 mph class by over 5 seconds. I know silver states radar will be slower but I have the proof of the speed.
