Ecmlink Sponsored 1991 Eagle Talon goes 209.622(video inside)

[biglady112]

We had an interesting week to say the least at Speed Week 2010. Lots of highs and lows. But we went faster each run and had a blast in the end. Too many details to list that would take away from the numbers we produced.

We were very close on this run to attacking the record from Raver Motorsports. The car started the break up around 212mph so Nick pedaled it to a 209.622 out the back door. He did achieve 209.575 at the four mile mark though. So there is still some room to grow. This was also only done at 30psi@6900rpm. We had one promising run he shut down early at 36psi but hurt the timing belt in the process. In the next few events we are looking to get the boost up even higher. After three years of a lot of learning the car is finally moving forward with success.

Thanks to everyone who made our week possible.

If you contact Nick at the email listed, he has a bunch more information to provide. He just wants everyone to form their own opinion and do their own research.

Cool stuff.  I saw that speed on teh SCTA site.  I've got a couple pics I'm posting on MotorMavens.com soon.  Good to hear there's still room to go faster.  Great news.

Everything is good but the transfer case stuff. This car does not run one. And we are in the 600ish hp range. But those are small details that are no big deal. Thanks for the pictures and shout out. Made the week worth it that much more. Nice to get our hard work noticed.

Congratulations on cracking 200!

Thanks Larry. This car went 200 mph on its first event at the salt.

Thanks Corey. This is steven though. Nick is not a forum guy so I through this up here. Hope you had fun driving for the first time out there. 200mph is awesome isn't it?

Haha, cool, I guess it will keep the "tuner/ricer" kids guessing.    Keep up the good work.

200mph is awesome and maybe next year since I am done licensing and received my A license and we put the motor back together I will have a chance for record. We will just have to see. You guys did a great job!
