Default New World record 6.58@220

At the World Cup Finals in Maryland we went the fastest we ever have before...

6.58@220 MPH setting new world records once again...

We are still the Fastest LS powered car in the world (MPH) with our 223.28 pass from last year

But this pass made us the quickest (we were already the fastest) in the 1/4 for

Any IRS Car
Any stock suspension Corvette
Any LS powered car on Radials
Any stock suspension Small block car
Any stock suspension car on Radials

Thanks a ton to my crew and all our sponsors for a great showing. We finished 3rd out of a 32 car field and topped off a great season after having to come back after the fire.

You sure did. A phoenix obtains new life by arising from the ashes of its predecessor. Pretty fitting.


Congrats again!

Congrats! My tuner and I were just admiring an article on the fire and rebuild yesterday. Still running a 427 with those massive turbos on a DR is downright mind blowing!

That's just unbelievably outrageous. I'd be ecstatic if I could run that quick in the 1/8 mile.
