FANTASTIC! Way to go guys. Like the rest say, have someone take video, even if it's not the best, it will be fun to watch on those cold snowy days ahead. Days are really getting shorter here. Do you think you can get out again before the weather goes to hell?

6.40 and only a 206 mph? John must have stepped out of the car to relieve himself, lol.

Car should run a big MPH when you decide to run it all the way out.

Could be the new record holder at some point.
