The March 2019 The Texas Mile was a lot of fun. The staff kept the cars moving all weekend, it was a great time. It was awesome catching up with friends/customers. We took two C6 Z06's with Arrow Machine built motors than performed perfect. Marks Z06 (car 427) was limited to under 215mph by tech so we trying to stay under. 213.8 mph for a street car you can drive anywhere is really cool.
Bobby's Z06 (car 120) ran good all weekend, just a couple mph short of a new best.
Thanks the slower car is really cool. I wish we could run it all out but running 213 with no cage is pretty fast. It runs 213 mph not even trying. After the mile we put it back on pump gas and turn it down to 900 rwhp and drive it around again until the next mile. We are going bigger on the faster car so it should be 220+ in October.
Technically the R888R have a higher speed rating then the Hoosier R7. R888R have a (Y) (186+MPH) speed rating and Hoosier has a W (168MPH).
The Y and W and other ratings have nothing to do with how fast the tire can safely go......its just what it was tested to. They can all go much faster. The Agera RS uses a factory Y (186mph) rated Michelin.....but runs 250+ mph.

You’re missing a speed rating:
W = 168
Y = 186
(Y) = 186+
Hence why I didnt say Y I said (Y) exactly like I said that its rated higher for 186+ MPH. If you look at the Agera RS Michelin its rated for (Y).

I was just stating that even a W or a Y rating tire is not limited to their respective speeds.....they can go much faster, SAFELY, than 168 and 186.........
