VIDEO: 0-175mph In car footage from Houston Mile

I went to the Houston 1/2 Mile shoot out this past weekend. The event was on a super smooth runway here at Ellington Field. Rain kept us from running early so I only got 2 runs and wasn't able to dial in the boost controller. I was able to run 175mph. Here are my vids/pics.

Very fast acceleration, a real monster

So is it right, you are "not allowed" to run in the rain and obligatory to dress up in all that "racing driver's" gear just to do a bit of straight line acceleration in your road car ?

Jeez makes our 200mph in pissing rain and 20mph cross-on wind at Bruntingthorpe airfield sans F1 uniform seem a little reckless

I guess it's because we are simply renting the runway. not an official competition....

Cross the channel and into Germany and fast as you like, personal responsibility is the keyword, being treated like adults. Don't these 800+hp builds would pass TUV tho !
