For fun I plugged in my car which I can back up with time slips...its scarey accurate.
My car weighed in at 3047lbs and has a turbo S tranny. I ran a 14.01 @ 99mph and a 14.1@100mph Check out what the calulator said I would run.
230rwhp(I was running LBE and 14psi) weight=3047lbs shifts=4 tire height = 26inch Gear= 3.38
E.T= 13.96
Trap speed=100.91
Trap Rpm=4412
Just using tools current numbers( I don't know his weight so I put in 2500lbs)
Acceleration Calculator
Horsepower (HP) Weight (lbs) Shifts Tire height (inch.) Gear
546 2500 4 26 3.38
Power to Weight Ratio: 4.6
E.T.: 10.24
Trap Speed: 142.57
Trap RPM:6233

It will take more than 547 for a 2500 pound car to trap 142 , with an excellent 60ft it will run 10's but not at 142 , anyway if the car goes that fast it will scare the Tool , who will lift @ half track ,

Want to hear something funny - I have sighted a 1/4 mile track with my theodolite (yes, surveyors instrument - Sokkisha EMT) believe it or not, I am THAT sick. I need only one prism at 1,320 feet - hahaha...child's play bitches.
Anyway - I am over 100 MPH at the 1/8 on higher boost (26, or so)
I know this because I am on the limiter and already shifted into 4th.
3rd limiter is 101.43 MPH for me.
I obviously have much more boost to go.
I guess we'll see where 30 puts me on 7/11.

Well tool was one of those soldiers, near the 11 of July tool is going to come up with a lame excuse and quit this race, he is a puss even martial arts master TinyG with his impressive 5” 4 height and 110lbs of weight can scare tool away.

It looks like I am going to be in the area on business, so count me in as an attendee. 
I haven't decided if I want to try driving my 951 sans A/C all the way out there (in addition to the fact that I am usually on the phone all day long and couldn't hear over the exhaust!) but I will be there.
Regards,

Well I am looking forward to this. Tool, you should look at this LINK , it says you can't run open exhaust. Also you should look into other rules. You will need a helmet and catch can for the coolent overflow. I am also under the impression you need a cage to keep running in the elevens, so you might only get one shot at it.
As for when to show up, gates open at 5pm and they start running at 6pm. I think Tool and I should get there at a little befor 5pm so we can line up together.
I have not made any real changes to my car for this, but I might play around with a couple things in the next week. I have practiced a little and I see Tool has too. Here are the results of my practice, this was with 340 treadware street tires at 17psi with 93oct. I will be running 21psi on 100oct at the track. That is about all my turbo is good for.
