Sweet and im not kidding about the crank, it plays a major role in what is happening and im pretty excited to be a part of it. That is a true story
So I can't say enough how happy i am for Ray and Jason as they both have Out did them selves and put together a Killer program and a unbelievable feat today. They Changed mile racing Today and a Ford will carry the banner for a long time.
Gentlemen,
As I sit here typing on my iPhone, I am on top of Ray's motorhome to get cell service. This is an emotional day for all of us. Performance Power made one last run trying to catch Ray with everything screwed to the max. They crossed the line trailing smoke at 252.....day over. Team Peak & Heffner Performance are the new World Record Holders!!!

I'm stunned!! I was THERE, and left at 3:30. Missed the final run. Congratulations Ray and Jason (and thanks for the hospitality). Next time I'm staying until the stars come out.

Congrats to Ray and Jason. Think about this..for those that are running the mile at 160-170 Ray would pass you like your standing still :biggrin
Great Googly Moogly is that freaking fast.

I was expecting 270. Lame.
Kidding!!! :biggrin
Congrats!!! Truly epic in every way, shape and form.
This reminds me of when one of Jason built GTS's went 7.99 in the 1/4 mile making it the first Viper in the 7's.
Wish I was there this weekend as I remember the feeling and watching Jason that day at the drag strip. I bet this victory is even sweeter.
Congrats Ray and team Heffner. :cheers

Congratulations to Ray, Jason, and crew. :cheers:cheers:thumbsup:thumbsup
Maybe I am going to have to get me one of those TT thingies..:wink
As I have it, FORD GTs hold at least One Two and Three positions for speed at the mile events, Kinda like it should be!:usa:usa:usa

Team Peak lays it down.
Ditto Dave. I was standing right by the finish line when Ray made his final pass. 4 mph slower than he ran Thursday while dialing everything in. But Thursday he didn't have a killer headwind. When Ray went by it sounded like an RPG round had just been shot by my right ear. The car was pushing over 280 mph of air out of the way and the wind noise was louder than the engine!! It made my TT GT look like a golf cart.
:cheers :cheers :cheers
