Will you be installing a roll cage before the next time so you can join the 200+ mph club?

I'm guessing that was the 192 mph run? By the looks of the video you had already started to slow down before the end of the mile. Nice job Jerry.

That was great to watch. I'm blown away how much you backed out of it towards the end (boost gauge dropping as you got close to 190). Looks like 200mph wouldn't be much of a problem.:thumbsup

Video Camera

That was a terrific video. What type of camera did you use and how did you mount it? I am thinking of doing a Panoz Track Day at Road Atlanta May 5th and want to video the runs. Any suggestions on a good camera and mount? Also would the tech inspection prohibit using a camera?
Thanks

We just used an inexpensive Samsung mini dv camcorder... Pretty compact.

And a company called Panavise makes a suction cup style mount that is
also compact and just sticks right to the back window... Pretty neat set-up.

As far as tech ... I dont see any problems but you might check with
your guy's when you go to race..


Very nice run!
Any plans to take it to the 1/4 mile.

No plans for the 1/4 as of yet... However , that could change..
