We only made 4 runs all weekend. It was packed. The first we had to run 180mph or less.
Run 1 shake down pass. 191 mph @ the 1/2 mile marker then coasted.
Run 2 232 mph with power taken out of the tune up.
Run 3 240.5 mph This was on full power (1580 HP)
Run 4 we knew we needed more power and added nitrous kit in pits! The car was flying and something in the motor let go around the 3/4 mile marker. I can say there was no smoke and no oil and the plugs looked clean and the straps had nice sharp edges. But we had a nice quarter size hole in the oil pan. I will know more this week.
The mile is insane. Having a car in high gear for 13-14 seconds is so hard on parts. We will be back in March with alot of body changes to help with the aerodynamics of the car. We had some downforce issues above 230 mph.
Thanks to all that helped it was a long weekend!
Congrads to Josh and the gang at LMR 245mph is no joke. See yall in march. cup car vs cup car...lol
