Standing start mile. Anyone else in?

Dan (from Speed) and I are driving my car the 1,000 miles there to compete.

We are still working on the Nova, we hope to get it finished in time. I am not brave enough to drive it down to the race, so it will be in the trailer.

I have to ask the obvious question...




How fast do you think your cars will run?

I've done 167 missing 4th on a road just over 1 mile. I have a GPSRD that displays top speed. I should def. get over 170 on the bottle in a mile easily. Might do this, it's in NC and I'm in VA.

Nevermind going, too much stuff required that I don't have. 4-point cage requiered over 135MPH.

If we get the car done it will be testing at the Monster mile. Not sure how fast it will go with a 72 Nova aero, but if it stays on the ground 200+ is possible. It will be a 6 litre truck based engine for the mile, then the boost ready 402 will go in for the pump gas drags.

I bet $50 on Intmd8 going 210mph.

Kurt, I hope to see you there, I think it will be a good time. I guess you could say I'm brave enough to drive my car there, or you might just say I'm stupid enough to try it.


I'm not going to win, as there are cars attending that are way out of my league, and my car only tech's for 175mph. Mathmatically it could go 205mph in 5th gear, but at that point my *** is getting kicked out.

If all goes as planned, it will turn out to be a nice spring road trip with a little fun along the way.

Why don't you add the safety stuff to make it legal? The record in C street power adder is in the mid 170's, you could go 200 in a f-car with 8-900hp at the flywheel.
Anyway, if we make it you can use our tools for any repairs you might need to make for the trip home.

Well, with the amount of head room their is in a 4th gen f-body, I feel a full cage makes the car much more dangerous when driving on the street without a helmet (which is where it is 99% of the time).

Thanks for offering the use of your tools, though I am hoping I won't need any.

I would love to take my GTO over there...but yeah, gotta have cage, etc. Yuck. This car is so rock steady >140 mph compared to an F-body, it would really be interesting to try. I'd also LOVE to go do the Silver State Classic, but same issues surface....oh well....

With 800-900 at the flywheel it may be capable of 200mph, but not in a mile.

Jim has gone almost 150mph in the 1/4, I'd think that 200 would be pretty easy for him.

Now I really wish he had the proper rollcage!!

Jon @ Speed Inc

iTrader: (2)

Not too bad..... drive from IL to NC, go almost 200 mph on a few top speed mile runs, then drive back to IL ....

Good run! Did he get the right safety stuff, or did he get kicked out?
