(Words and photos by Doug Gregory) –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>In the 1st<\/sup> article from this event we posted the top speeds for nearly everything in the photo gallery.\u00a0 I will attempt to keep this up, but can\u2019t promise anything.\u00a0 Right now I think the effort is worth it so the readers can more-easily correlate the substance of a combination and its speed potential.\u00a0 I\u2019ve yet to do a feature on a LSR vehicle, but that will likely change the next time we head North to Wilmington.<\/p>\n

With that said, lets run down some vehicles in this posting.\u00a0 The beige coupe came in loaded for bear with a thumping BBC, but the driveshaft wasn\u2019t wanting any part of that torque and split with the program pretty early.\u00a0 Next up are a pair of F-bodys that compete in Drag Week – one a 1st<\/sup>-gen Firebird and the other a 2nd<\/sup>-gen Camaro.\u00a0 The \u2018bird easily went 176mph and eclipsed the speed his safety equipment would allow.\u00a0 The Camaro stretched its legs out to 158.8mph.\u00a0 The Y-block-powered Lincoln managed to keep its hood down to the tune of 124.6mph.\u00a0 The Gary\u2019s Speed Shop Special Ford stock car blasted to 222mph.\u00a0 Finally Bill Kuntz broke through a speed barrier in his red Chevy pickup to record a 160.1mph run.<\/p>\n

The red Ducati came within a hair of 200 at 199.9mph.<\/p>\n

Blue Yamaha R1 was good for 192.3mph.<\/p>\n

The Salt Machine diesel VW chugged its way to 88mph.<\/p>\n

The Tutterrow\u2019s orange Ford sedan went 154mph before the magic smoke was released.<\/p>\n

The white Trans Am scooted up to 144.2mph.<\/p>\n

Apple Tree Auto-sponsored VW managed 94.8mph.<\/p>\n

Dan Stokes got his Mercedes-diesel-powered S10 to 128.3mph through the traps.<\/p>\n

Al Schwarzwalder took his Mercedes for more laps than virtually every other competitor to a best recorded lap of 143mph.\u00a0 This is the unofficial Ohio Mile lap car.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the photos.<\/p>\n
