WHAT'S YOUR TOP SPEED?

[Xplantdad]

I helped an older gentleman tow his ProGas Corvette back to the pits at OCIR on a Wednesday night test and tune...it seems that this guy was some really well known motorcycle racer in the 60's and 70's...held all sorts of records...(he showed me his scrap book with photos at Daytona. I wish that could remember his name!)

Anyways...he was so happy that I towed him back, that he offered me a ride in the car the next time he came out. Sure enough two weeks later, he was back. If I remember right we ran around 9.94 at 158mph. That ride scared me to death. It gave me a real appreciation for the top fuelers and funny car drivers and what they do in a quarter mile. When I got out of the car...my legs were shaking...and he was laughing!

Okay...so make fun of me now...
