Default Thanks.

Nicely done. As you were building this post I was looking through the Gallery of photos from the event (posted on Beaviscih's thread) and spotted this seemingly insignificant SUBI. I wondered....

He mentioned someone else had captured the crown. Yes, the 1080 version at the end clearly shows the ticket!

Thanks for the post. A worthy accomplishment.

With the rebuilt AST Racelines, the ride was smooth at silk. Much thanks to squidz for setup and Vorshlag for the rebuild.

The only thing that really upsets her is if you start getting 15-20mph+ crosswinds, which we didn't really see last weekend. Of course, that's more of an aero issue. Headwinds and tailwinds don't have much effect on stability.

So, where were you this weekend? I thought I saw your name on the program. That is, if you're the guy I'm thinking of.

Great run Scott, I'm glad it came together. Sorry I missed you Saturday afternoon, but you were gone after I finished my last run of the afternoon. Obviously I didn't come close and as I commented in October, I knew the 189 wouldn't hold up in March.

I've been participating in this event since 2007 and Scott has been doing it since its inception, or pretty close to it. While it's great that two Subaru's broke the 190 mark, it was disappointing not to have more running. Regardless of the speed, its a great event and total rush.

Oh, and the GoPro resolution is great. I've got to dump the 8mm digital and pick up one.

Congrats!

Thanks, Bill.

As always, it was great fun running with you last weekend. I like the wing. Sad part is, if I would have swiped your air dam when you offered, I probably would have hit 200!

Even though I've been running since 2004, this is actually the first time I've come out on top. Always been close. Sometimes within hundredths of a mph. (Which reminds me, I'm a bit upset that they cut the decimal points from thousandths to tenths. Maxton goes to four digits. )

I keep watching the video, and thinking that it's so short. When it was actually happening, I could have sworn the last half mile took 1-2minutes. Definitely not 8.x seconds! I remember thinking, "Where are the timing lights?" ...wait... ...wait... ...wait... ...3/4mile. What a rush, indeed.

Awesome run Ripler, wish I had been down there to see it. Hopefully I'll be in the shootout come October. There will hopefully be at least 3 Subarus on top of the 200mph mark. (I'm not gonna come in here and lay down any more after-race challenges cause I've missed the last 4 races )

Really am glad it finally all worked out, as helpful as you are to the rest of us you deserve to be on top.

Thanks, man.

That's probably a good idea on the challenges. I'd hate to have to bring up that lawnmower.

Oof, memories. I almost lost this car to them. It took another 6mo or so to get the car working again after I got it back. I've really tried to black out that period in my car's history.

...but yeah, we probably did meet. 'sup!

No idea on the IDCs. I can't trust the AEM on meth. We were seeing 140-160% on the dyno, and started to get concerned even though the fuel kept coming. AEM said "Yeah, that happens with meth. Some people see 200%+." They sent us another base map, and it started reading more reasonably. I still don't trust the numbers. All I know is that we can add fuel, and it still gets richer. I'd have to hook up a scope while on the dyno to see real numbers, and I just haven't taken the time (or spent the money) to do that.

The ID2000s are pushing about 2500cc as we have it set.

Not enough, but more than the GT-Rs.

The rules for >190 can be found on www.texasmile.net.

I'm pretty convinced that >200, a parachute would be a good thing to have. It's on my todo list.

Yes, on all counts.

Probably, but I'm still on the stock gear box, and I'm using tall tires to increase gearing. It can't really go much lower as it is.

No, just the car number, time stamp, and mph over the last 132ft. I know I had already run out 5th to 8K, and was into 6th at 1/2mi.

Interesting. Any idea what 7000rpm in 4th is? I'd be interested to try and avoid shifting to 5th.

225/40-19 as stated in the OP. 200mph is definitely doable with the 40R, but I think we're getting pretty close to the limit of this little turbo.
