Beat my E.T. but I regret to tell you that I ran a 135.99 @ a nationally-prepped track in Ontario.
Steve - we have spoken before - and I would have to see you at my track and see you run a 136 MPH. Since no one runs 136 - unless with a tune and exhaust.
My MPH is higher - but only by 1/2 a MPH - not 3 full MPH.
Hahaha same at you, vtknight. It was a nationally calibrated track, on a national race weekend, and it ran what it ran. If we're going to get into tracks then we're going to have to associate every "record" with a specific track. On worn P-Zeros I couldn't get over 130.31 last Friday night on the same track. Still beat everything but a rail and Ali D's tuned 991.2 Turbo (which it caught dead 2/3 of the track down and looked like it could have gained on by 275 despite him having lightweight 19" wheels and fresh R888R tires). But hey, it must be the track reading high, right? Can't be the car, because you don't own it!

LOL
I understand why this would anger you. I know Ali D - and I know the tracks near him are terrible. I understand that you say the track you run at is calibrated.
What i I can only tell you - and when I say “I” - I mean records of all Porsche Turbo S runs - both stock and modified - is that your 136 MPH trap speed is excessively above anything stock. As I said - me running 133 is above - but barely - as would be correct for a stock car. 136 is almost full bolt on and tune MPH (maximum as they have run as high as maybe 137). I have shown you many times with videos from tuned cars on YouTube. I even posted a GT2RS video where that car was a few MPH slower than yours. I invite you to find another Porsche Tiurbo S that runs 136 MPH - you are 3 MPH faster than the fastest stock car. All you will be able to pull up is tune and exhaust cars at that MPH. And again - I know it’s insulting to feel someone is questioning you - but I am simply stating that your MPH is so outside the norm - it makes me feel the equipment is either wrong or your car is tuned.
So the reason I say come to my track - Cayuga TMP - is because it is the largest and most well-known track in Ontario. All of the major NHRA events are held there. If you run 136 MPH there - I will be the first person to shake your hand.
EDIT: I just spoke with Ali and he stated you ran 129 MPH to his 134 (his car is modded). And you best was 132 MPH running a 10.87 - at Shannonville. Which would be right where it should be with poor prep.
For the record - that means our cars would be within a 1/2 MPH of each other - which is what is expected.
What you think about the track doesn't matter. It's a calibrated track. They run nationals on it. I ran multiple 134mph runs as well. You don't have to like it and clearly you don't, but I have the slips, and they're from an accredited track.
The night I ran with Ali, I ran with a set of P-Zeros tires with 11K of driving and 6 track day heat cycles on them. I didn't adjust pressures. I didn't remove anything from the car. I didn't give a ****, frankly. The car wasn't hooking up at all, and I still managed a 10.876@130.31 that night. I'd have to look but I believe I had a 1.9s 60' time!
@#$%, take a look at this pic, you can see my tires are covered in DIRT. I drove around another car on the way into the pit. That pic was taken right after the only run I did beside Ali, where my car fell out of launch control because the new tree takes so long to count. I launched from idle.
So quit with your excuses. I have the slips. They came from a real track. I don't have to do more than that. And I'm not driving to Cayuga to prove anything to you.
