Yeah, I would, but there's a good chance I won't be home that weekend.

Heck, I didn't even know that Carabelle HAD an airport!

I have always wanted to do a top speed event like this, but I will not do it with another car on the same run. That may seem like fun for fast and furious types, but to me seems like an unnecessary risk. I want to test my car not race another driver.

Actually, I agree with you. Don't know how many drag race videos I have watched where one of the drivers loses control and smashes into the other vehicle....

there is a video on youtube that shows a c6 roll over on an event like this in Texas and was on a single run. I can only imagine how it could have been doing that at 200+ mph with a vehicle right next to him.
