Hey JB,
Great to see you out there again. You should explain to everyone about that first run and the jammer... classic!

My wife says hi too.

I've made a few different 200+ MPH runs in my Blownc5 at Mojave, the best was a 203.1 MPH, unofficial 205.5 on my Contour HD GPS. I have around 800++ RWHP depending on which dyno I'm on...

You can see the run/video in my sig below.

It's dyno dynamics, and it reads low...

Oh ya, good to see you as well!

On my first run, I could not figure out why the slip said I only 150 mph, till I realized I did not turn off my laser jammer...
