Default 202.5 mph Standing Mile Run in my 1000+ Rwhp Turbo Camaro - Video inside!

Hey Guys,

I recently did the Mojave Mile last weekend, which is a standing mile race out here in California. It is just like the Texas Mile. I was able to do a best of 202.5 mph! It has been a goal of mine for quite a while to break 200, and I'm so excited I finally did!

Another cool accomplishment, I beat a 2012 Bugatti Veyron that Car & Driver Magazine brought, which did a best of 201.3 mph!! They interviewed me and I will be mentioned in the magazine, as well as a video interview on their website!

Im now the youngest member of the Mojave Mile 200mph club. Im curious if Im one of the youngest in the country too..? Im only 23. Can anyone verify?

Heres the Video. You can watch it in HD if you click the link:

Congrats! I think that's pretty cool. So, for guys that have'nt run any 1 mile event like myself, could you elaborate on the major factors that you had to deal with in order to break into the 200+mph? Well, obviously you have to have enough power..., and what rear gear ratio are you running? I'd like to be able to do something like this next year. Thanks!
