nice! nothing like having some fun with a cart. lol

We were there and set the GT-R world record for fastest mile at 216.9 mph. The wind and surface really held cars back a bit.

Yeah i saw it! Congratulations by the way! car looked sick with the chute on the back. they claimed to fix the bump but we (LMR) still tore up our front splitter again. hopefully they get that fixed by march.

thanks!

LMR was getting it done and I would have loved to witness the car being able to put all the power down. I talked to Kelly Friday night on the last pass and he said there was a lot of power left in it even at the 246 run.

I do hope they get the surface straightened out for the next mile.

LMR ran 246 this time around?

Congrats AMS. Was that the Alpha 14 that ran the 216? If so, it wasn't maxed, right?

yeah on the 246 run we only made around 24lbs of boost in fourth and it didnt trip the microswitch going into third so it stayed at 13psi all the way through third (boost by gear). on our last run it made 30lbs of boost in 4th, but torched a cylinder head. we should be up and running in march ready to run again.
