Default The Official "What will Mike Leech run" thread **DCI is the Winner**

Norwalk is coming up, time to guess what Mike Leech will run with his new combo at Norwalk this year.

The person who comes closest to his ET (with MPH being the tie breaker) will get a custom tag under their name for a year. (Where is says Ultimate warrior now).

Good luck, and good guessing!

Lock it in!

You need a MPH too, if you tie, without it the other person will win.

Yes, we'll get together on it, as long as it isn't offensive or against the rules, yes.

Well, he went 8.32 at 162 already. In good air. However, this week has some good air too.

Certainly it is. But he's not going to lose more than a tenth from 50's to 80's... or there abouts.... if he's tuning for weather. So in my experience he would have ran 8.40's in the heat.... especially given that the 8.32 was not with the 1067 hp tune up.

The car is going 8.teens. He only needs .13 of a second improvement to achieve that.
