Default Texas Mile Record...267.6
I've seen this car in person a few times, talk about nasty fast, 217 mph in the 1/2 mile!?! Most guys would give up a ******** for that alone, but then to pick up another 50 mph on the back end, SIIIICCCK!

217 in the half is ridiculous much less the 267.

What's the story on Kelly's camaro?

Blew a tire at around 220 mph and barrel rolled 8 times. Driver - Joe Honeycutt ended up with torn ligament in knee and bruises and scratches, but looks to be ok.

This is a Ford GT, I am not sure they have run the Venom GT in the mile.
