We had a good run at the Mojave Magnum

Incredible! Was watching your updates on Facebook. How did it feel moving at that speed?

wow! some going in a car only ever designed to do less than half that speed!!

There's 2 big hangers on the down wind side of the runway at Mojave about the 1 mile mark. Also just past that another runway crosses our runway. I felt the wind between the hangers and it moved me over about 6' when I was just under 150 mph and the Ghia got a bit airborne when I hit the crossing runway bump also about 150 mph (I felt it and heard the engine rev a bit). This was the first time that I've had the Ghia move around and get light on me. It required my attention but was very solid. I think that there was a 170 +mph pass in the car but we lost a pertronix on the last run, I hate those things!

shave the rain gutters off and you got yourself a 175+ ;-)

I did that on my Black Ghia.
