Last weekend, I ran my G8 GT in Arnold, NE, for their yearly road race; Sandhills Open Road Race. I took 1st in the 90 MPH class, averaging 90.009. I was .223 seconds off of perfect. My tech(max) speed was 120, and it was stable as heck at that speed. I even averaged 13+ MPG on E-10 89 octane during the race! I also ran it at the MPH track in Hasting, NE, and was suprised too. I ran it in pouring rain, but never lost it once. I only got 9 MPG there though. I also made some half-mile runs on two different days, and got 117 - 122 MPH. It was a 3000+ mile trip, and I got as high as 28+ MPG at 60. I always ran the cheapest gas, which was usually the E-10 89 octane. Check out "www.sorc.com" for more, with some pictures.

Was hoping to see some video of the road racing but from what I can tell that website is terrible. :P
