Exclamation ***253.1MPH Texas Mile Video Inside***

Awesome weekend for us. Made several passes over the 250mph marker and even drove her back in trailer. Kept having boost issues in 4th gear. We kept trying to turn it up but it would only make 21.3lbs in 4th gear, hence the 4/5 runs at the 250/253mph marker. We were trying to make 30lbs but it just wasnt meant to be. Looks like one of the solenoids on the AMS 1000 took a crap. We will know more once we get back to the shop. No excuses though, the Ford GT deserves the credit along with the record. But we should have something for them once we can hold 30lbs =)
