Initiation to the 100 MPH club came with the 3rd of 5 runs at the Pittsburgh Raceway Park today with temps near 70 degrees(pretty warm for this time in November).

Congrats John. I know how hard you have worked to get there. Enjoy the accomplishment.
But honestly, wouldn't it be a little easier to find a nice country back road and open her up to hit that number. I do it all the time. It's really easier and it doesn't matter what the temp is outside.:p

Any Mark VIII can hit 100mph on a country backroad, the point is to do it in the 1/4 mile...! Congrats Driller, all of your mods have definately paid off, your 4000lb Mark VIII is definately "flying" down the 1/4 now.

Congrats!! - I agree it's easy to take out the Mark on a back road.... 100 mph comes too quick... but to do it on the track in 1/4 miles is great..
Hats off to you!!!
