Default New Zr1 mile record 221.8

Big congrats to Jim Cosco for his new texas mile zr1 record.
Facebook Post
This was on Hoosier R6s, car is built and tuned by KPRacing, as we can not run drag radials at the texas mile.

I sure will be! Hopefully we can see some new vette records for the half mile. I am interested to see how I compete with this car.

Very impressive! We're the Hoosiers on 19" reps? If so, is that safe? I have read allot of horror stories of "knock offs" failing.

Alot, jk ! We typically spray between 200 and 250 on the plate kit for the ZR1. This one on this run was 200.

Unfortunately we fought traction issues all weekend along with a track that wasn't up to par for the drag radial we took. Once we changed back over to the Hoosier's the car did a best 181.3 which we know could be better. We are taking the car to the TX2K16 1/2 mile in march and we know the track there is much better and will handle us throwing more NOS at it. Until then its drag racing at HRP !!!
