Default LMR breaks 200mph barrier at TX Mile!

LMR goes 202.6mph in their 4th Gen Camaro - which I believe is a record for that car! Only 14lbs of boost as this was the car's first shakedown runs with new combo....

About a 10mph headwind too....

Gonna turn it up tomorrow and see what happens!!!

Also heard Tommy Bahn sets a new record going 247.xx mph!!!!

Will keep you guys updated as soon as I hear anything!!

Damn it, hope they get a better run without a head wind, i want LMR to build a nasty combo in a 3rd gen TA and see what they can do, WAY more aerodynamic and lighter.
Like my wifes car:

Glad they got the first run issues addressed and made a clean pass for the last pass of the day. Hope to see it run at least 10mph faster tomorrow.

the orange lambo went 242 i believe, thats Underground Racing's car. makes 1700rwhp or something insane.

SW, who owns that black lambo, is not running his record breaking Supra or his Lambo. He did not have an engine for the supra and decided to not run the lambo.

i was suppose to be there but taxes and paper work crap back home called me back. i was there last weekend for the TX2K10 event tho. Trailered my vette down. I was really pumped for the mile. Hoping to hit 190 on motor and over 200 on spray. ohh well, theres always October!!!

One of my good buddies is down there still, he has the atomic orange Z06, license plate "ATOMICZ". he ran a 190mph, all motor setup. he also has a p-car, GT-2 which hit the 200mph marker. he's hoping to hit higher tomorrow.

We watched the green car run today, but did not get a time. We left too early as the Orange and Black car looked like they were being fueled and getting ready to start up.

I've got 460 HD Pics that we are uploading from today.

(BTW, no, I wasn't even close to the water box on my pass with my front tires)
