Thanks to everyone for the very kind words .I will give it another shot tomorrow.The power is there to go faster but at those speeds the car needs some more suspension work and a chute.We also lost the front belly pan on the first run so we need to figure that out in the am because it will likely have an effect on stability.

Congrats Joe! I hope you're gonna crank up the boost tomorrow! Congrats are also in order for the entire EVOMS team. Did Eddie Bello run today, if so what did he run?

246.2?!?!??! WOW what kind of power is that thing putting down? To beat that I think someone's going to have to put a 917 engine into a go-cart. I can't wait to read about all the times people put down tomorrow!

Fantastic Joe, I bet you are chuffed with the results so far. Congrats to all the crew at EVOMS, it takes a ton of work to create what you have, not to mention some serious coin.

Congrats and well done Joe! Be safe

Ben

How did the car feel at that speed?

gorilla tape/200mph tape is your friend

also race cars tape all the front seams, hood/fender gaps and headlight gaps, might be an idea.

good luck tomorrow

Your ***** > mine.

Insane runs for sure. I'm sure this has been covered in another thread, but what turbos are you using, and what supporting mods?

Super congrats to everyone involved. Be safe. Those speeds are hell on the tires.

Assuming stock height tires, you'd need over 8,000 rpm to reach 230.

Curious, what power level the GTR is since it is exact same speed as
my car.

Nice run!

Great conditions for the mile today. 51F 41% humidity and a 14 kt WNW wind. I believe this makes an almost perfect tail wind for runway 28. Records are gonna fall today.
