That surface is Pathetic! Shame on the Tx Mile event'/crew for using that surface.

Anyway, Great job keeping her together, and way to go on the 244mph! Thats hauling ***!

Keep in straight!

2.56:1 If I remember right. With all the spinning it sounded like he barely got into 4th gear this time.

That was one crazy run..... on a crappy runway surface. Hats off to some impressive driving.

What tires were you guys running? Did you use nitrogen to fill them up? Any bead lock process?

30mph+ headwind and you guys are attempting 240mph+

The Mojave Mile runway is super smooth. Only downside is that it is at 2800ft elevation which when the DA is corrected gets well over 4,000ft and it gets hot! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mojave_Airport

HOLY ****! Congrats to all! I absolutely LOVE this car. Almost drove 1000 miles to come see the Texas Mile, but I'm aiming for coming out next time later this year.

Don't know how I feel about the new track... I am assuming this is the same driver from last year when you had the two blowouts? CHEERS to the driver, AGIAN. Hopefully they'll switch back?

Btw, according to TX Mile's website all old records (at the old track) are set in stone and now new records need to be set due to the new location. I guess I can now really understand how one track could be so much (shittier) than another.

GOOD WORK GUYS

Awesome and tell steven if you guys need a hook up on a wing to give me a shout. You also will maybe need a small 2'' or so front splitter. Nothing wild just something to add down force especially when you put the wing on as its going to push the front end up.
