Charley, love the LS9 powered car,very awesome and congrats on the road course part of the challenge. My only question is, was the guy driving Detroit Speeds 69 camaro a professional driver, because I know their car does not have as much power as yours, because most of the time Kyle or Stacy Tucker drive it, and I have seen Ryan drive it at a couple of Goodguys shows.

I'm pretty sure Stielow would have had the faster time if his seatbelt wouldn't have come off. He did the timed laps with one hand while trying to hold himself in the seat by holding onto the gear shift. Here is the video. Notice the one handed driving. At the end he hold up the unlaced belt. in car video

Not taking anything away from DSE, they build great stuff and I am about 10 mins from their shop, but I just figured that "jackass" with carbon brakes and more HP, and equal suspension, would have run with or better than the DSE car. I don't think anything or anyone could run with that cobra, that is a awesome car, "jackass" is an awesome car too!

I am wondering how you are ever going to top that car. Then again, I think I said that about the Mule. The coolest!
