Actually you are disqualified, do not get a time slip, and you don't get to run again."
We really didn't want to get have to put a 4 point roll bar in and install a parachute--let alone get disqualified--so we decided to run in the 130 mph club. (Anything above 175 mph requires a chute and 4 point roll bar). Dr. DeHart got a wild hair on Wednesday night (wasn't too hard to convince Thomas to go along) and he literally drove the car out of his garage, into the trailer, and out onto the salt. The hardest part of the run was keeping the car UNDER 140 so they didn't get DQ's.
Who knows, next year we may see if a "stock" 427 actually will go 200 mph. Who knows, maybe we will do something even cooler.
