Exclamation **LMR TT Corvette runs 231mph Video**
Late Model Racecrafts now holds the record for the fastest corvette in the standing mile. This run was on 18lbs of boost with a 31mph head wind. The next day we tried turning her up to 23lbs but broke a gear set in the trans. Next event will be interesting if the conditions are better.

God dang that looks like a ride! What rear gear are they running? I think a lot of guys think they're running the typical short tire/short gear combo when in fact they're running a fairly good sized tire that grows also with a tall gear!
