249.7 MPH Texas Mile Debut

[kumar]

might want to get some stub shaft output axles from Performance Products. I snapped my stock ones with a 1000 hp burnout on dry pavement.

Just looking out for the car.

Remembering what you did, I had guys pour water on my tires right before heating them up.

Hi Ray,

Congrats on the run. How did you get the air bled out of the cooling system? Did Mullett have the tool?

I sharred Rays video with my office staff.

After a while I could not hear the ending.

They all had it paused at 2:31.....:wink:wink:wink

That's freakin' awesome Ray. Tell us what you guys did to make it that fast.

I'd like to be in Florida when you set the record.:thumbsup

Ray maybe I should know this but can you tell us about the motor?
I mean is it still the Ford GT motor or some big bore billet wazoo drive train?

The more I watch this I have to remind myself this is 1 mile not Bonneville.

Just un-real.

I saw the stop photo of the car at speed and could see the front pitched up and thought how could it be so stable with all that air packing under the car???????? Just Wow Ray that is all I can say is WOW

Actually the photo of the car at speed with the front pitched was due to the acceleration... definitely some room for improvement aero wise... but notice at top speed (the pic just before the mile) how the downforce has taken over and the nose is down... and then the braking pic for reference...

Stock Block and Heads... upgraded internals for the motor... Heffner custom turbo kit, brakes and wheels... Amazing combination!!!!

One of my FAVORITE pics of the weekend...

Jayden, my 18 month old saw the black race suit and helmet and thought Chip was me... Chip picked him up and hence the picture HAHA

Congratulations to the intrepid drivers of these fine machines. Great job guys! (By the way, I like Ray's hat, I just bought one just like it the other day!)

Congrats Ray! Nice pics.

Your semi looks roomier that the stacker you were pulling. Does it hold more than 3 cars?
