at 2:02 lol

Lol. That's what it looked like in my rear view mirror although it seemed it went a lot higher in the mirror!

Considering it was the first event - it was very good especially for the money.

No it played straight away although I have a photobucket account and may of been logged in.

Its not all bad John. After the L bracket with a self tapper had travelled across the runway at 150mph combined with the heat from your engine it made a nice hand warmer until you arrived

Lol.

Here is my video of my run including my incredible exhaust sound which i filmed for added touch

ENJOY...

Some of us were chatting about whether these cars could hit 200mph and watching that video makes me think even as standard, they might just do that.

I remember reading RennTECH stating that most of the 55s could just about touch it.

I started to doubt it after my runs but it seems to be purely not enough runway looking at that clip and how the CLS is still accelerating at 180.

I just wish we had a longer runway (say 3 or 4 miles) but I understood from one of the chaps there that RAFW is one of the longest and acted/acts as a standby for a NASA landing...

Its also the length needed for braking
