    Ok I’m running XF/VGCC with a 296cid 8ba race motor with a big cam in my car. The current record is above 150. My last motor sucked balls and I didn’t do well with it so this year I’m hoping to go a lot faster. I will base the winner off my fastest speed I can do out there. Be sure to get some decimals in your guess because I’m not gonna send out 35 tshirts because everyone guessed 125mph .. I will however accommodate if there are multiple winners. Anyway wish me luck and good luck with your guesses. Here is a a couple photos of my car.. thank guys!!!
    Let’s keep it to one guess per Hamber please

    155.555 mph. The salt was one of Gray Baskerville's favorite places. He would call your car "bitchin", and I couldn't agree more. No matter how fast you go, you're gonna look damn good doing it.

    This is my friends(Skot Ingram-Austin,Tx) 32-3 window(old dirt tracker that had welded doors and had to enter car by climbing thru the roof) that ran132.645 at Bonneville 2011 with flathead power. Your car is more streamlined in appearance but I am guessing you to be not as fast so I will guess 128.50—good luck. Flatheads Forever! DDF54584-F45A-4EEA-9A96-9539C2279BF3.jpeg

    Last year top speed for XF/VGCC was 156.026 mph. You're going to top that with a 156.662. Go get it. :cool:
