Only one option then, Nitrous

Damn I didn't see that, well spotted, I'd be okay though if I lived there

The Texas Mile would be better because it would give you a much better chance of reaching 130 in a safe environment, i.e with no other road users about.

So if you can get enough Texas Mini's togeather and buy a Performance box between youall, you'll be able to record your acceleartion Et's

Gnaster will be able to go round and round because he has his own already

I'd have to look it up
everyone has to start at the 1mile run until you qualify to go to the 150mph club.

Of course.... salt has way less traction than asphalt... you think they want to make it easy?

As an aside, part 1a: I can get to 93 in 3rd now that Jan tuned my car, (I was at VA Int'l Raceway last Friday),

1b: MINICHI did just fine against a Subie, ALL Miatas, and most of the RX-7s there, except the late model twin turbo guy ;-) it wasn't a race, just a fun day, so no real results to post,

part 2: I work for a bank that was just bought out and the wifey wants to move to Austin if they send me walking--now that I saw these links, I'm up for it!
