Congrats on the sale of the car. That went really fast. It is a good deal for the new owner.
That beast is pretty quick. I looks like you were running about 2:12-2:13 on your clean laps. We ran there in 08 at the Grassroots Motorsports Ultimate track car challenge with our street car and we ran 1:58. You definetly had a few bobbles running backwards that could have made up a few seconds. It sounded like you were not running as hard as you could. I bet it could run down in the low 2:00-2;05 range. The same car we ran in 08 now has another 90 hp and another 50ftlbs of torque so it should be a little quicker maybe a 1-2 seconds. We had a horrible weekend at that event. We went off track first day and hit the curbing and broke the oil pan and tore out a suspension pickup point out of the rear subframe. We spent a good 12 hours getting that fixed and only got a couple of good laps in. Here is the video link if your interested http://youtu.be/WH4tKRD3LzE

Good luck with the new ride hope it is as fun as the last one.

Whoa!

The Beast has NOT sold yet. So unless some comes by soon, I'll still be out
at Streets of Willow wailing away with the 180 degree exhaust and open pipes.
