Default ***Late Model Racecraft now Hold New TX Mile Record***
Just went 231mph with a 21mph head wind. Going to add some boost to her and try it again first thing tomorrow morning. Hopefully the wind wont be near as bad.








Also set the record for the worlds fastest camaro with a 243mph run but had a valve cover gasket push out and had a flash fire that hurt some wires. We are trying to fix tonight so we can try for the OVERALL record in the morning. 250+ here we come!!

It was great watching both cars up the record and the wind is holding everyone back

Both cars are amazing, I was at the mile on Friday and the wind was blowing.

Great paint job on the Z Guys!

Great job guys. Is the Camaro setup similar to the Vette? Sounds like they need to switch ends with the start/finish lines

More space in the Camaro bigger turbos :-) C6 is tight no space.

Corvette made 23lbs of boost in 3rd gear, which was 5 more than yesterday, then broke the trans..

Camaro went 244 today, josh had to lift a couple times and at the end becuase of the crazy head wind.

The TX mile staff recorded 31mph head wind today. We are not going to try anymore today due to how unsafe the conditions are.
