    Lets give it up for Outcast cc Tony Lee for running 172mph twice at the Texas Mile yesterday. Last year he ran 156mph. He has plans on over 200mph at Bonneville this year.

    Is this the car ya'll ran near Victoria last year? That's mighty fast in an A but, my hats off to ya. Now, where's the video?
     
  4. I saw Tony's video from last year and he wasn't using the "Top Gear" at that time... did he change ge****ts so he could use it?

    The Frontal air compression Factor has got to be "OFF" the charts... I would actually see my windshield "Bow" inward at speeds over 135 mph in the Roadster..!

    Bonneville is a completely different animal... Just ask the guys from "Kanada" with their 1149 Model A roadster pick up...! I believe the've finally topped 202 mph...!

    Another danger of Bonneville that you don't see often on the paved surfaces...
    1149 on a "Pucker Run"...!

    Found Tonys run from last year at 154 mph... either that or it's footage of him heading to the "Lone Star Round Up"....!!

    Yeah wingnutz, that's the video, the last one. I love the sound of that ****er hauling *** across the prairie. Something about that sound relaxes the **** out of me. Rock on!
