Congrats to all those that took part and are going home with cars in one piece.All very interesting the comments about the cast involved!
Can someone give us a rundown of the procedure that took place EG
How long was run up?
How long was timed zone?
Stopping distance?
What would a typical run be? eg do you start like you were trying for a 1/4 time?

1.5 mile runway with 0-1 mile run with half a mile shut down.
My method for starting was just to get the car off the line as cleanly as possible. My 0-60 runs were all below 3.7 as far as I recall.

Todd, John, Joe & the crew are class act...I finally drove my car for the first time in almost three years
. not only did it run, it ran in the 200's consistent every run...except when i tried to shut down the PSM at 160 mph 
.. Guy's I had a blast, thanks to Evoms...
KPG killed. Joe, I'm coming for you...
I will back up that statement for you as soon as i can with some data!
Thanks man.Todd Z and Evoms really did a great job on my car and we have become really good friends.I can't say enough good things about their dedication to do the best for their customers(not just me) and keep pushing the limits of these cars.

Nice to hear you are all coming home. I waited to comment as it was getting "spicy" here and there.
Congrats to all you guys who I may or may not know in person. All great accomplishments on their own levels, going for a shirt or aiming for 240. Nice job!

can't wait to see that and your graph. did you at least put plastic seat covers down before the run, so that you would not have to clean the seat so much

I appreciate all the support and kindess from everyone. I think it was more amazing to see everyone is person in action than keyboard typing wars Joe was a stand up guy and so was Todd Z. KPG, damn I was expecting a little guy, he is an NBA star Tom you are on your own buddy, just kidding, good times. We are all going home safe now, thank God!!! I will not tell my wife about blowing that tire at 200+, no more ***** left in these sacks for now. Cheers guys.

I have seen a rear tire delaminate @ 190 mph plus, which was less than you were moving. The tire destroyed the rear quarter panel and resulted the the Porsche rolling a few times.
