Hopefully all of the fun doesn't rain out. Austin weather is 40-50% rain on Friday so far. I'll pot up weather updates either way on both this thread and the Austin Cobra party thread.

If We Get A Shower It Wont Last Long And The Runway Would Dry Quickly. I Am Confident We Will Get Plenty Of Runs Over The 2 Days. Dont Let The Weather Worry You On This Event!

John, is parking a problem? I won't be able to get there until late Saturday and won't be able to run until Sunday. Surely there will be plenty of room. Will there be space left?

Also, a GT owner who would like to remain annonymous, will be sponsoring the dinner (for the whole event) on saturday evening. he is a class guy and is another example of the what nice people GT owners are.

I don't think anybody went with a cage and they won't let you go over 190 sans cage. I think Ripper will probably have done 190.

i would be interested to know what the stock GT's and the mildly modified GT's ran? i am guessing that the GT's with just a pulley and a tune would be pretty close to 190 mph :shrug

In the motor trend shootout the Accufab GT went 194.62mph with 640rwhp. I think I've seen a couple stock GT runs in the 175mph range.

My guess would be 185ish with pulley & tune.

I'd bet 200 would be in the realm of possibilty with a Whipple and some large gonads.:wink
