Ran at the Loring Timinig association event in Limestone Maine a couple of weeks ago.Met my goal of over 200 mph
in 1.5 miles. Best last September was 183 mph in 1 mile. Since then added 2.85 upper pulley and Demon injectors.Weather was 77 degrees with mid 60s
dew points and low air pressure. Waited 2 hours for track to dry.Should be 2-3 mph more in better air.Not sure why the slip says 2017 Harvest event? 7-15-21 was correct.

Hell yeah! That's a hell of a nice top speed run.

 

[beep-beep-vroom]

Well done. I'm jealous. Did your speedo show over 200?

 

[Dennis H]

Nice. Congrats. Solo? How does it feel/sound over 150.

 

[Bradsredeye]

Congrats. And now you have the record. What tires?

Nice. Congrats. Solo? How does it feel/sound over 150.

I’ve done 163.. even at that speed you start getting a lot of wind noise.. relatively stable.. I changed my wheels out to 10.5 all around and 295 Michelin PS4s rears 285 fronts. You have to have some balls to take it over 200. I wouldn’t go that fast honestly I don’t have the stones for it

I have a 19’ as well. Good to know she’ll do over 200 legit. Nice run

 

[matt someone with an SRT]

I’d bet money the Widebody Redeye Charger couldn’t do over 200. Those flares And big ass front tires will cause a bunch of extra drag. Might be possible but imo I think the 19’ charger is still faster on the top speed

Dodge used a 2 mile straight each way, so good job.

Thanks

Thanks Yes the speedo does go over 200, and is dead accurate. I usually know within 1 mph what I ran before I see the slip.

Thank You. This is a very old Air Force runway built in the early 60s.Surface is now 55-60 years old. It is all cement and a little rough and bumpy.It is not smooth by an means. Can be a little intimidating on the first couple of runs. Car moves around a little bit, you do need to steer it. There is usually a light cloud of cement dust that will follow and hide the car a little bit from behind., From 1 mile to 1.5 miles it felt good fairly stuck down. Wind noise picks up a lot from 150-200. Stopping it over 200 becomes much more of a challenge than driving it 200 mph!

Congrats. And now you have the record. What tires?

Thanks Tires are Michelin pilot sport 4S. Stock size in front and 305/35/20 on 10.5 inch Repilcas on the rear.

Cool. Based on the record, it looks like you had the fastest car. What were some of the other cars there, if you have a minute?

I have done this with several other cars.Had an AMG That topped 190 about 4 years ago.The Hellcat with the 2.85 is certainly the fastest. Stopping from over 200 mph was a lot more intense than getting there.There is not a lot of distance to stop if you go through the 1.5 lights.Very easy to stop after the 1.0 mile lights.

 

[Bradsredeye]

Was it an 8,000' runway, or longer? A little longer I'm guessing. Did you have to stand on the brakes or just a firm push?

 

[Adrenaline Rush]

Cool. Based on the record, it looks like you had the fastest car. What were some of the other cars there, if you have a minute?

I run in the Super Car class. This is a street car class no real safety equipment for the car. I was the fastest in my class only. There are many race car and bike classes, with bikes and cars routinely hitting 230-260. There is another Dodge Charger tube chassis race car that usually runs 260+ with 350 motor single carb and lots of nitrous. Mostly race cars. not many fast street cars this time. A stock black 2012 CTS-V that ran 165 i mile and 175 1.5 miles.

 

[Dennis H]

Super Car Class. Nice.

 

[Adrenaline Rush]

Thanks Yes a stock Hellcat will never make 200 mph in 1.5 miles.

 

[Bradsredeye]

260 plus is amazing. I'd be worried about the tires holding up. I think it's interesting the different venues that people get into with their cars. I raced in SCCA for 15 years, but rarely saw over 150 mph. Not sure my car would have gone much faster. Going 200 without a full cage, 5 point belts, and a helmet with HANS is pretty risky. Stay safe.
