Was a blast tonight out on the airfield

Seriously Alex, last 36 hours has been fun preparing your car especially with only 2 hours of sleep. But let me tell you something, after riding in the car tonight I can say this, I’ve driven/ridden many super cars, ridden in a Bugatti at 196mph, driven a 1100hp S7 at 150mph, and many other super cars, but never once, have I experienced a car like your turbo, there is brutal. It makes it feel like a dragster and the bugatti is a Rolls Royce. CRAZY....can’t wait to see it on speed channel coming up. Congrats on your pass of 190mph

I never did ask you how the noise is inside that car. My ears are still ringing from following it. Charlie seriously man thanks for the invite.

Alex thanks for holding this event. Thanks for everything today was a very fun day although there was some hectic times, I really had a blast the entire day.

I absolutely cannot wait for this to air. I hope they do it right. This is definatly an episode you won't want to miss. Any ideas on when it will air?

Yeah, last time I heard that thing, it sounded like a beast. I can only imagine now. Any pics to share with us Mr. Ludden?

Cool video! That Viper seemed like it was going faster, but the Porsche stayed in front. The green car needs a little more front downforce maybe?
I really like that the video was not overrun by thrash metal as is so common today.

Claus controlled the CEC car well.... The Viper hit the 'scramble boost' button while on the straight to give him the full 1150rwhp and just lost traction at around 150mph... Wait until the show comes out on SPEED and you see the in car footage =) I raced Claus later in the event...but I dont want to ruin the show for you guys...
