Qatar has the equipment to STOMP the record.

My Way runs T55-L-7's, Max Continuous HP is 2850, So 5700 HP total... aka, a $hitload.

Qatar is running t55-L-714's, Max Continuous HP is 4860, So 9720 total.. an even bigger $hitload..

If they can get the drivetrain to live, it's going to be insane. I just hope they don't kill them selves.

Tom,
Holy crap, I thought Q was running the same config T-55's as BT!! I have to say, I agree with your post, almost makes me get plane tickets and head up... BUT Freaking work ruins all my fun!

I hope not. I would like to see the 224 record to stand for a couple years with some good competetion trying to beat it. And then for Bill to go take it back again the next year.

And this is why we will be tied up at the middle of the course and not the finish line

And I hear there will be a couple of piston boats pushing 200mph. One over 50ft and one under 40ft.

Greatest week of the year......Can't wait. We still talk about last year all the time..

What's a good time to get over to the line up to get a spot?

Thus is the first year we rented a boat to join the front line party.
