Really? I didn't think his tires would hold at that speed, if his car can even go that fast.

Beginning in 1991, the speed symbol denoting a fixed maximum speed capability of new tires must be shown only in the speed rating portion of the tire's service description, such as 225/50R16 89S. The most common tire speed rating symbols, maximum speeds and typical applications are shown below:
M 81 mph 130 km/h
N 87 mph 140km/h Temporary Spare Tires
P 93 mph 150 km/h
Q 99 mph 160 km/h Studless & Studdable Winter Tires
R 106 mph 170 km/h H.D. Light Truck Tires
S 112 mph 180 km/h Family Sedans & Vans
T 118 mph 190 km/h Family Sedans & Vans
U 124 mph 200 km/h
H 130 mph 210 km/h Sport Sedans & Coupes
V 149 mph 240 km/h Sport Sedans, Coupes & Sports Cars
When Z-speed rated tires were first introduced, they were thought to reflect the highest tire speed rating that would ever be required, in excess of 240 km/h or 149 mph. While Z-speed rated tires are capable of speeds in excess of 149 mph, how far above 149 mph was not identified. That ultimately caused the automotive industry to add W- and Y-speed ratings to identify the tires that meet the needs of new vehicles that have extremely high top-speed capabilities.
W 168 mph 270 km/h Exotic Sports Cars
Y 186 mph 300 km/h Exotic Sports Cars
While a Z-speed rating still often appears in the tire size designation of these tires, such as 225/50ZR16 91W, the Z in the size signifies a maximum speed capability in excess of 149 mph, 240 km/h; the W in the service description indicates the tire's 168 mph, 270 km/h maximum speed.
225/50ZR16 in excess of 149 mph, 240 km/h
205/45ZR17 88W 168 mph, 270 km/h
285/35ZR19 99Y 186 mph, 300 km/h
Most recently, when the Y-speed rating indicated in a service description is enclosed in parentheses, such as 285/35ZR19 (99Y), the top speed of the tire has been tested in excess of 186 mph, 300 km/h indicated by the service description as shown below:
285/35ZR19 99Y 186 mph, 300 km/h
285/35ZR19 (99Y) in excess of 186 mph, 300 km/h
As vehicles have increased their top speeds into Autobahn-only ranges, the tire speed ratings have evolved to better identify the tires capability, allowing drivers to match the speed of their tires with the top speed of their vehicle.
M 81 mph 130 km/h
N 87 mph 140km/h Temporary Spare Tires
P 93 mph 150 km/h
Q 99 mph 160 km/h Studless & Studdable Winter Tires
R 106 mph 170 km/h H.D. Light Truck Tires
S 112 mph 180 km/h Family Sedans & Vans

I know what the letters mean, but I concede defeat.

Old Guys Rule!
I had a great time.I'm sorry I had to leave guys but when they told Matthew he couldn't be in the car while racing the dissapointment on his face really got to me.We're having some problems at home right now and this was suppose to be a night for us to be together and I made a promise to him that I was not going to break.I would have loved to stay and try to win a trophy for me and Wickedstangs.Next time I'll plan better.Anyway,Ethan carried the Wickedstang flag to victory.My son the Ford racing legend...it makes a daddy proud.

Not a problem, we understand family's first.
I'm concerned for you (McBullitt) and Ethan. I'm sure he told you that his car blew the dipstick out and shot oil everywhere. The only thing that can cause that is a bad pcv or excessive blow by due to bad piston rings. I looked at the pcv and it seemed good. You can check it by pulling it out and blowing through it. It should flow one way, but not the other. Let us know. Hate to see anyone get screwed.
I would call Ryan and ask some questions. Especially who built the engine?

Good turnout and thank you to all that raced. It's always more exciting when you have people to cheer for. Although as a club it was obvious that we need more seat time. LOL
& Tires! LOL
& Tires! LOL
Sorry i missed it ya'll Her x-mas party was lame as hell this year. She didnt even know but maybe 4 people there and noone was doing anything so we left around 10.
Thank sucks! You should have driven to the Q and froze your a$$ of with us.
I was going to but I had been drinking at her party and she drove us home in my Bronco so I didnt want her to have to set in the truck with the kids.
I understand. I left at 10:30 anyway.
We passed the Q around that time. We were going to get a Hotel room for the night but her head was hurting. She has something going on with her forehead. Fluid is building up under the skin and hurting bad so she has a dr's appoinment today.
