Incoming... car talk on MCTC:
Pandalloy?
Performance Power Racing Ford GT Sets 283 MPH Standing Mile Record
October 29, 2012
On October 16, Johnny Bohmer, owner of Performance Power Racing, strapped himself into the driver’s seat of his 1,700+ horsepower Ford GT, then pointed the nose towards the end of NASA’s Shuttle Landing Facility runway.
The 15,000 foot runway, located on Merritt Island, would give Bohmer plenty of shut-down room after attempting to set a new standing mile speed record. With the folks from Guinness World Records on hand, Bohmer launched his Ford GT into the history books, achieving a standing mile speed of 283.232 miles per hour.
To put it in perspective, that’s over 25 miles per hour faster than Mark Heidaker’s standing start mile run, also in a heavily modified Ford GT, at last spring's Texas Mile event. Heidaker’s efforts earned him a new Texas Mile record, and likely would have earned a Guinness record had their people been on hand to certify it.
As the name implies, the standing mile measures the maximum speed achieved, from a standing start, over a one-mile distance. Bohmer had set a similar record with Guinness in 2011, piloting his street-legal Ford GT to a top speed of 223 miles per hour in the mile.
The record run was for more than just bragging rights, too, as Performance Power Racing is developing a line of parts made from an aerospace aluminum alloy called Pandalloy. Developed in cooperation with Pratt & Whitney, Pandalloy delivers high strength, light weight and high temperature resistance, making it ideal for racing applications.
Performance Power Racing isn’t giving any detail on how it brought its Ford GT up past the 1,700 horsepower mark, but we’re pretty sure they’d be happy to discuss performance upgrades for interested customers. If you fall into that category, contact information can be found on the company’s website.

I'm hoping my brothers place has minimal damage. Luckily his townhouse isn't an end unit and the lowest level is his 3 car garage.

Yes, a friend in the UK posted this one (sent to him by someone in NY). He posted it in good faith and had over 200 friend requests in an hour....people wanting to know more. He then contacted his friend in NY who admited it was a fake

Poor tree
It's definitely not looking good down there.
We will give it a try. This is a replacement flowering plum. Lost the one before it in an ice storm. That one was probably 25 ft. I'm thinking maybe the root system won't go deep enough to hold it in the saturated ground
