HowlerMonkey Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 (edited) The Mickey Thompson drag radials started having having belt shifting after 10 runs over 250mph, many runs over 200mph, and more than a few donuts. We started some inquiries with manufacturers a couple of years ago and a few prototypes have shown up but mum's the word at this point until a design is finalized and tested.

sq_creations Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I saw your car on Speed Hunter/Facebook. FB Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVSALT Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Back from the salt with mixed feelings, I bumped the record to 212mph, ran 215mph average between the 4 and 5 mile with an exit speed of 219mph. Put one of our crew guys in to drive and he ran a 224mph with a 226mph exit speed. on the return run i think he ran a 215mph and the record averaged out to a 220mph and some change. Then i got back in the car and was at 203mph at the 3 mile and then spun the car. Have a few videos and pic to post later. So all in all i guess it was a good trip (2 records) but fell short of my 225mph goal. Maybe next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowlerMonkey Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Wow, that's really fast. I'm guessing windshield rake is mandated to be stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VKLR Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 So how did the changes to the nose affect your car? Was it more stable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVSALT Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 So how did the changes to the nose affect your car? Was it more stable? I think it had to of helped but there are so many other factors to consider. Traction and i had a 14mph side wind on one of my runs . We will go at it again in 2012, no major changes for 2012,we have plenty of power its just keeping it straight. maybe some more weight, not sure yet.
