I think the 2012 OLOA winner makes more than 525Hp, based on 1/4 mile times and speed, Leh mentioned they did not run at full power to preserve the car for the rest of the OLOA race.
And the only useful trap speed I got from the one lap was the CRX (218whp is what the math said). DOH! Leh had backed off, Catesby broke, and I didn't care about the other cars trap speeds to calculate hp. Woulda been nice to know what that Oddessy had for a trap speed.

Oddessy tranny was down to 3 gears by the drags so trap speed wouldn't tell you anything

This was on Hoosier R6 tires.. I ran 25.8 on PSS tires...

We took the car to VIR this past Monday and ran a 1:53.5 on the Hoosiers and 1:56.1 on the PSS (with a passenger and full tank of gas)

1:56 at VIR on street tires? shocking.

The 1:53.5 time breaks all the NASA track records for the Racing and Time Trial classes, all the classes.

Godzilla and Leh are lethal.

Wow, congrats on the new record Leh. Good to meet you out there. I've contacted Pirelli on my tire issue. Good thing I didn't sling the cord on your car.
