Having gone 212+ at Speedweek, GH knows what the surface coefficient on the salt is as well as anyone. If it's hard and dry, it's not too bad but not quite as good as asphalt. The trick is that you're running on skinny tires inflated to 50-70 lbs. Get it crossed up and you'll spin forever.
Mark Miller holds three records with his inline powered pickup. Like GH he wanted that red hat. He took an turbocharged 80's Firebird to a new production record at the World of Speed just a few weeks ago with a two way average of 222 and change. Now that he has the hat, he's going to sell the car and concentrate on making "our" motors even faster.
If you make it to World Finals look for membership chairperson Jean Weigt and husband Jerry. Also pay attention to the weather in the mountain passes tou have to travel through to get back where you're going. I think I'd rather spend a couple of extra days at the Rainbow Hotel than along side the road in a foot of snow.
