New PB at Mojave Mile Yesterday! 206.8 MPH * Teaser Vid*
I drove out to Mojave this weekend, and made three passes at the Mojave mile, then drove her back up the mountain, about (300 roundtrip) in one piece.
The first pass (206.8 MPH) was actually a "breakout", since I was only approved to go 200 MPH, with a 5 mph leeway. I backed it down just a hair, and went 201.8, then 202.5, packed it up and drove home.
My new friend Jeffrey Hart came out with me for the weekend, and shot a bunch of video on top of what I usually do. We met up with "Michelle" on Saturday, and then he shot again all day Sunday at the event.
It will be at least a few weeks before he's done editing, but here is a short HD teaser from my cameras on one pass...
Short list of people who are due some thanks...
My wife, CMS, ECS, RPM Tranny, Unitrax, QMP, Mcleod, Torco, Julio and Nick.

Thanks, it was moving...
I run a custom built RPM tranny, with shorter G-force 5th and 6th gears.
Stroked 418 LS3 with about 15 #s of boost from a Paxton Novi 2k.
Thanks, but I gota leave some good stuff for the final video!!
I had fresh Toyo R888s all the way around, it's what I run for street/canyon and runway. I'll run Pirelli scubs on the road course...
They don't let you do any burnouts on the runway, so you just need to walk it out of the whole then take every bit of every gear to hit 200 MPH, or I run out...
