Default Hit 205.8mph standing mile with my Lingenfelter car at Mojave w/ Video

Hi Guys,
I posted this in Forced Induction but wanted to share with my local corvette brothers.
I took my Lemans Blue LPE turbo C6 to Mojave and managed 205.1 and 205.8mph in the standing mile.

If you haven't been to Mojave, check it out.
Great event with great people..
and loooooong stretch of flat pavement!

Thanks to Rich at Abel for helping get the car ready (I needed that A/C) and to Lingenfelter for a pretty stout street car.
Good to see Keith back in his supercharged car and good to meet Rich's friend in the blue C6 (sorry I suck with names).
Scott

Video of 205.1 and 205.8mph.. Hoosier R6's spun a little bit under boost..

Congratulations Scott, that car of yours is a beast. It was good to see you again in Mojave. It was a blast and I'm looking forward to going again next year. Keith

Very cool Scott. I need to get out and try this sometime. Glad the car worked well and that trans rebuild is holding up well.

Nice run man. Big cajones for signing up to drive that fast in general.

Not real sure about the one hand steering wheel action at 205mph

Awesome! But them long white lines almost make it seem like you are doing a tad over 65mph. Hahahaha j/k I couldn't imagine 205mph and getting a front tire blow out, let alone reaching 205mph. 191 is teh best I have done and that was scary enough.

Congrats on the run!!!

Scott,
That is an awesome run. You have sure got that thing all sorted out. I think you are making north of 750rwhp, Physics and math seam to point that way.....

Can't wait to hang out with you at the Drags again, have you got all that boost staging working at the quarter Mile? That would be something to see.

Scott,

Great time for the mile!! I was there and know what it takes to do
200+ MPH in the mile; especially with the traction problem. I only
ran 160 MPH with mods, but was a great event. See you next year.
