Wow!
Congrats to you both, that is awesome!!

IT has to be a complete rush to do that!!

Tell us about the car as well. Obviously a stroker. What kind of suspension do you trust at those speeds?? What tires are y'all running?
Looks like mirrors are removed and shrink wrap applied. Cool!

so the top speed results are updated......Cheryl accomplished this:

1: FASTEST CAR TO FINISH 204.5mph
2: ONLY CAR OVER 200
3: FASTEST WOMAN AT EVENT
4: Next "fastest" car didn't break 190mph....

Very impressive

Very impressive indeed. At the awards ceremony back in Las Vegas, the whole crowd was going nuts as Blue Offutt read all of Cheryl's results - huge applause and cheering!!!

My vote's for the navigator because he had to moven to be able to catch her in the first place.
Looks like great fun.

Loved the story!

Great results, and it sounds like an absolute blast!

I am curious though as to what type of suspension you are running in the car. IIRC I heard you were running 1200# springs in the front but would be keen on hearing more about this.
