Where is the Ohio Mile? Awesome build would like to see it in person.

Best of luck in Ohio. I'll looking forward to you posting up a video of the run.
What is the record you're trying for (Class and time/speed)? What are your expectations?

Besides the monster motor, what have you done to the suspension and aero to give it the best chance for staying planted yet slippery? Just curious.

What's the chances of going to the Salt Flats for a top speed run?

This video documents our first "one mile" pass in our new turbo Corvette racecar. It was a speed limited licensing pass for the East Coast Timing Association (www.ecta-lsr.net). We're excited to be back on the track, and we're looking forward to pushing the car this year. Enjoy!

Congrats guys. Looks and sounds amazing. Although it wasn't a full pass it scares me when your driver isn't driving through the parachute deployment. I'd hate to see the rear get lose again on such a beautiful car. Keep up the great work and we look forward to seeing more passes.

We didn't make more runs because of the weather and quantity of cars. Yes, that licensing pass will count towards future events. We're planning to head back to Ohio in late September to run the car again.
