All in all we are happy to get a camaro to run over 250mph 4-5 times and drive it back in trailer.
Congrats to the ford gt for record. We will see ya at next event.

Not to be a stickler, but if you aren't going to include the decimal, the Ford GT ran 258 MPH

The cars worked great this weekend. Nothing like taking a 4th Gen Camaro to push a ford gt to run a number. Both cars flat out work. Was that Shane t. Tuning that ford gt?

Seafish beats SW then he loses his record....,
SW lost his record almost 2 years ago. The Lambo that went 250.1 was Richard's car and it was the one that wrecked a year and a half ago

We put enough psi on top of the gate to make 30lbs and it only made 21.3....

Like I said, no excuses at all, we are very happy to be driving car back in trailer after all the 250 plus runs.
I think fastest was 253.1 for the weeekend for us.

There shouldn't be any excuses needed. You all went out and made passes most people thought was impossible with a 4th gen and an LSx based motor and did it a few times, put her on the trailer and brought it home with the motor, trans, rear, etc in one piece. Congrats to you guys.

The AMS is still a learning curve for me. I have to remember when I change the boost that I'm setting a desired amount of pressure on the wastegates and not the actual boost level.

Congrats to lmr and the ford gt. Good news is none of the cars were hurt at the end of the weekend. G-Force , LMR and the Hennessy GTs motors live to fight another day!
