Pardon my ignorance, is this event similar to the Texas Mile? If so good luck and lets see you hit some record numbers.

So you are saying that your life and the decisions you make are based on what I do? I will be there and I hope to do some driving, some watching and just having a good time. You are more than welcome to come and hang out.
Cheers

Peter,
I would guess that part of this is directed towards me?If not then sorry and disregard.
First off i have nothing to prove regarding my cars performance.I have competed in the Texas mile and submitted and posted the P-box data from the mile run.I have also participated in drag events back when the car was a GT800 and GT700 and posted the vids.I am heading back to the Texas mile(at no small cost) to compete again because i feel we have improved the car and could possibly do better.Myself or my tuner have never made any claims as to the cars projected performance rather we have let the car speak for itself.It would have been real easy to sit on my couch at home and tout the improved dyno numbers over the ones from the March Texas Mile and guess about what the car is capable of.
As for the slight hard time i have given Rob.Rob rants about his street racing victories and having never lost a race(although i have recieved PM'S contradicting this claim) and after posting his admittedly very impressive dynos has yet after 2 years to submit his car to any objective data.Furthermore he has Pm'd people as to running 227 in the Texas Mile(there is a vid of it I believe we are all still waiting for somewhere) prior to my car doing 231 in an effort at undermining the accomplishment.We all know Rob has a fast car,maybe the fastest but where i am from if you are gonna talk the talk you have to walk the walk.I am sure Rob is a very nice guy and cool in person and will applaud him if and when he "walks the walk".
Now as for the "Big Game" hunting in Mexico.I most definetly will not be participating in this "event".Don't get me wrong ,I have engaged in Mexico "fun" albeit in a less powerful car and on a Mexico highway i know very well along with where all the "exits" are.
First off, my car will be set up(height wise,and with a chute)to run the mile.Yeah i wont attract any attention with the local authorities driving around with a chute after they get a whiff of the month long,several page long,on several different forums publicizing the Big Game "event".Secondly,why would i travel all the way to Goliad to timed event on a closed course only to end up street racing on a road i have never been on risking my life and the life of the innocent public.I am not going to be on the front page of some local newspaper.Not to mention threads like this one makes it premeditated if anything were to happen.Its kind of silly to me 
and a risk i am not taking.Third and most important of all my business and my income depends heavily on my Commercial drivers License.I can not take the risk of jeopardizing this in any way as my family depends on it.
Having said all this ,I am in no way backing down from any performance measurement Rob or anyone else wishes to compare from the mile.I thought the mile was the accepted end all in performance measurement?I will have a P-box and a couple of extra ones for any one that wishes to compare their cars to mine or anyone elses.I will say again i will compare data with anyone that wishes.After my shakedown runs getting used to the chute and the new setup i will make a couple all out passes.After this I will do some dedicated 60-130's and 0-300kph runs to see what i can get out of the car.I will post these as i did with the run recorded from the March Texas mile and anyone running the mile can do the same if they wish to compare.I believe Todd would do the same with the 997 although i think most will decline a comparison with it
.I am not afraid of losing and will tip my hat to those that are faster(I am sure there are many).I hope I have explained myself sufficiently.
p.s. Rob ,good luck against those 1500rwhp Vipers and Lambos.

Well said Joe. No offense to anyone but I would NOT want Joe to have his car out on the streets with the chute and everything. I know how loud his car is, mainly because mine with straight pipes and external wastegates is equally as loud and he would pull cops from miles away to us. Plus if we pass a officer and he's got a chute on the back... You know something is up. Plus the cops aren't stupid... They know what is going to happen in and around the event...

LOL, nice book Joe......I stopped reading at "If not then sorry..." No, my post was not directed at you, hell it was not really directed in anyone in particular! We just want to see some racing!

Rep Power: 197 I and a few others want to see actually how fast your 996tt is. You beat my Z, I'll shake your hand and give you the respect you deserve. But it's no beig deal either way....I'm just bored running the same local guys, and I think it would be a good run.
Oh, and thanks for allowing me to come down and hang out....
