The "normal" bone stock Veyrons all ran 229 to 230.... this however, is THE ONLY MODIFIED VEYRON.... For a mere 2.8 MILLION dollars... and they're trying to build the car to run 265's

That car is nice, but I'm more interested in information about the event. What exactly is the Sun Valley Road Rally?

More money than brains if they really don't have any additional safety gear.

I'll use your line here "better lucky than smart"

I won't be going to or supporting this event in the future.... Just FYI. And I live here. Once was enough. That's not dissing the cars or the excitement of seeing this caliber of car blasting that fast... but as a spectator event - it was a giant CF....

Sounds like a damn jet airplane! I really like these cars. I think they look great, and obviously, they have some serious performance to them.

Is that the stretch of road leaving Sun Valley going towards Stanley ? If so they missed the mark when they turned around

Shoulda kept going for the twisties and hauled ass on the straight stretches on the other side heading towards Lowman . At least that's what we used to do on the bikes

Wow. Don't sugar coat it GW.
I'm guessing you offered some pointers to the event coordinators and they were unreceptive? Really a shame to read you that disappointed in something so neat and so close to home....

Yeah Greg, I have to agree with Ketzer. Although poorly ran, it really is for a great cause. Is there a "board" behind this event, or is it just a dude calling the shots? Would it make more sense, as a spectator, to watch this from a helicopter? Maybe Charlie will donate a helicopter to watch from next year?
