I havelooked at your bio yet but you must be running some kind of a stroker small block to be turning 8 thousand. I know Holman and Moody would test their 427 at those RPMS but not many of us can afford the trick stuff they were using. Great story.
Why don't you take a road trip on May 3 & 4 and come up to the new Mid America road course outside Omaha in Pacific Junction, Iowa. The Northwoods Shelby Club is having a Ford Event that weekend. It is a great track and is safe and fast. There will be plenty of Cobra's, Mustangs, Panoz, GT40's etc.

Glad you had a good time.
