     #7600 Das Bullet also did a 258 one way yesterday AM.

     XF PP Indian Land Special worked up to a 105 on a 107 record on their first trip to the salt.

     Duerheim - Biglow AA GL has reportedly made some stout runs over 3.

     They haven't run ECTA yet and first time out to my knowledge but the #355 XF GR Makuck Racing
     car and crew represented the East very well by setting a new record.

 I ran the car the first two runs. The first started to get out of shape,and it was on the rev limiter thru the 3 and I shut it down at 238. Went back and changed a gear then went out and ran 244+, still a white nuckle ride. The next driver went out and spun it  at 238 . It ripped the trunk off and tore the lanyards out of the roof flaps, dented the roof badly,tore thru the rs door. I guess they're not rated for that speed. The next spoiler will have flaps in it. Other than that the drive out and back was fine. Just another 4800 mile drive.

  What was your engine setup? Did you spray it?  Good job on that speed either way you did it.

 on fuel right?  What fuel were you using or is the fuel designation just what was on the car?

Well cool. That's pretty fast. Are you aware, that is close to the unofficial nascar body record. 1 more mph and it's yours.  :cheers:

Congratulations on a good but sounds like a hair raising run. What NASCAR team originaly ran that car and is that the original CUP block? I used to have an old Sabco Racing cup car set up to road race and I was honorary but  a licensed crew member until my health prohibited me from going and spending three days at the track. One of the top team owners was a good friend of mine and I have framed pictures of myself and him and different drivers at Daytona and Taledega framed on my wall of shame. Good times but all those memories are lost except the pictures and the gaps my family fills in due to strokes.
I am making new memories LSR with the ECTA though.

It is a 2010 Earnhart Jr. speedway Nationwide car. Just a mildly modified nationwide motor with an 830 carb. instead of the 390 they use. Not sure if it was a backup car or one they raced.

They have always been on top of the game with their Nationwide program so even if it was a backup it would be top notch equipment. Glad you saved it and yourself without anymore damage than you described.
