Ah, yes I was there. If it's the one out in Arnold Nebraska (can't view Youtube at work to verify), that's it. I was going to post some pics of the event and some shots of the Evo 2 a couple of weeks ago, but I've been extremly busy. Anyway, the bragging rights in the standing mile contest was between a "Viper" (used loosely) and that Evo 2. The Evo won by mere 10ths of a second. I'll post some more about it later.
As a side note my Cooper S (which I posted about a few months ago) managed an astounding 105 MPH in the half mile! Woohoo! At least I beat that Lincoln Mark VII (and a few other cripple-fighters). Last year I hit 107. My car is slow.
The Mile/Half Mile Shootout is part of a larger open road challenge (Rally) event.
