I don't think pathologists enjoy smelling at their jobs - just my humble opinion....

Autopsy? What's that? Haven't done one in years. They've been on their way out for years. No bad smells unless it's a colon for tumor. And those usually look like other color cars.

I hit 200mph as well :) That runway event was a blast. Can't wait to do it again.

I would have liked to see someone get a 100 mph run at the start.. you had to make a 90* turn to get on the runway. I was sideways a few times trying to get up some speed. One of the guys in a GT did spin ,,so who ever said 100 mph run up was a little optimistic.. That being said.. we know for a fact the Speedo's in some of the other cars are optimistic so maybe theirs did show a 100 mph.. :biggrin It was mid 70's low humidity...

I spun it once getting onto the runway :) Was trying to carry some decent speed, was understeering, shifted a little too much weight forward and the rear came right around on me. I might have made it if I stayed in it instead of trying to shift the weight to the front. The Ford GT is definitely not an easy car to drive.

I thought you did .. I wasn't sure.. All (4) of the GT's cracked the double century mark. Other than the Turbo Murci I am not sure who else did ??

Unfortunately the Camilo TT is in Idaho. Lots of deserted 2 mile "runways" out there. :wink
