    Default Ecmlink Sponsored 1991 Eagle Talon goes 209.622(video inside)

    We had an interesting week to say the least at Speed Week 2010. Lots of highs and lows. But we went faster each run and had a blast in the end. Too many details to list that would take away from the numbers we produced.

    We were very close on this run to attacking the record from Raver Motorsports. The car started the break up around 212mph so Nick pedaled it to a 209.622 out the back door. He did achieve 209.575 at the four mile mark though. So there is still some room to grow. This was also only done at 30psi@6900rpm. We had one promising run he shut down early at 36psi but hurt the timing belt in the process. In the next few events we are looking to get the boost up even higher. After three years of a lot of learning the car is finally moving forward with success.

    Thanks to everyone who made our week possible.

    This is my third trip. WOS 06 and 07. I won't be at the salt any more this year. Vacation time has run out. Nick is going to try and make it. He needs help though if you are interested.

    First Speedweek... Different Animal isn't it. I've got my wife for my pit crew on the Truck but we will definitely look him up. Mitsubishi people have to stick together.

    Congratulations! Man, not sure if it just the camera is bouncing around or that surface is far from smooth. How long is that? Only way I will ever go that fast is if it's in the 1/4 mile.

    It is a go pro camera. SO yea, it is that rough out there. And they drag the courses daily. The long course and tail of the combo course are 5 miles long with 2-3 miles of shit down.
