I remember reading an article many, many years ago about a guy building a '69 Camaro for the SSC. I think it averaged well over 200mph, and was clocked "in a bend" at 200 or 220 or something insane like that. I think it eventually become known as Big Red. I remember reading in the article that the guy had set up speedos or tachs for the front tires and rear tires and could use those to tell if the tires were spinning. (I think, it's been 25-30 years, so I could be wrong)

I remember a guy who had temp sensors on his wheel bearings, to see if they were burning out.
