1)  Bonneville Land Speed Record Features in Drag Race Pro  Rob Freyvogel, the President of Carbinite, Renfrew, PA asked us to look into doing some mods to our Drag Race Pro for better top speed simulations.  Rob is going for an incredible Bonneville record of 500 MPH with a wheel driven vehicle.  With an ambitious goal like that, we had to help.  

Drag Race Pro, and its little brother the Drag Race Analyzer, always had top speed simulations, but they have been refined and expanded in the current Drag Race Pro "Team Engineer" version.  It now has new features to help Rob and other Bonneville racers do Bonneville runs on their computer.

  to see these new Drag Race Pro features.

Here's a pic of Rob's Carbiliner.
