[J2SpeedandCustom]

Just heard SW ran a 241.8mph at the Texas mile!!!! Can't wait to see the video on that one. His best last year was 229.

Huge congrats to SW, Boostlogic, Justin, and all the crew. Gotta love those Supras.

[Stuart Adams]

Yeah, he just called me. 234.5 first pass. 241.8 second pass with bigger rear tire and adjusted rev limiter. Awesome S.W.

First off, thanks for all the comments. Sorry I am so late posting, I was just beat after yesterday and spent some time with the family when I got home. My wife was really happy to see me walk through the door in one piece. :)

My goal with the first pass was just to get it down the track and feel the car out. We had conservative boost and a slow ramp rate. I knew it went well when I hit the rev limiter at the traps. When I pulled the chute, that was the first time I actually got nervous.. yes I said it. I was using a new "Bonneville" chute and it is about 25ft long. When I pulled it, the chute went up in the air then side to side and the car moved over about 10-15ft instantly. I also felt the car moving around alot at the top end. Kean asked me if we had adjusted the suspension settings for when we were drag racing it. It turns out the front shocks were still set at full soft. Kean adjusted the suspension, we raised the rear and put on the taller slicks. Justin raised the limiter, up the boost about 2-3 lbs and that was it. On the second run, the car dead hooked and when I got into the top of 4th, it reallly started to pull. As I got it into 5th, it felt like I had another turbo kick in and it was pulling like a bitch. I usually never look at the guages, but a little past the 3/4 mile mark, I glanced at the tach, it was reading 9200 and I knew it was goning to be a good run, maybe 238 or so. I was never expecting almost 242..


My plans now are to freshen up the engine and transmission and get it back to the track and really run a good number, but for now, take some time off, spend some time with the family and give Chris, Justin and Kean time to spend with there families. I also want to get some track time with my ZO6, I have been going straight too much lately and I might have forgotten how to got left and right.:)

Alright SW. Another one for the books. Going 1 mile in 14.9 seconds is rather sick my friend... Much faster and you will have to be registered as a deadly weapon...lol Congrats buddy. :thumbsup:

[awr68]

Thanks for the vids!! Man that is fast!! Good clean fun!! :woot:

[will69camaro]

I thought I counted it on the video as being 24-25 seconds not 15. Either way congrats man that is amazing. I would have loved to chat again at TWS but I will be offshore coming up soon so I will be missing a lot of track days in the near future!

I want a ride in the Z06 around track!

I don't think that Trans AM can go 253 in the standing mile. I would sure like to line up with him though..:D

SW

Didn't mean to confuse you. 14.9 is the rate to cover a flying mile at SW's speed. A standing mile - well just look at SW's video.

Got ya :)

That's definitely moving! That trans am is nice but I think it'd need a HELL OF A TIRE to get that power down as seen in his videos!

Looking forward to hopefully going to the next one to see SW's car in action in person...Maybe break his previous record?

[R67Chevelle]

The thing about this whole thing puzzles me. It has to do with aerodynamics. SW, at what point of speed would your Supra become unstable that you could loose control? Stability wise how did it feel at the 240 speed?

I watched the Video with LG's ZO6 corvette and he just could not hook. Not to start anything is a corvette such as LG's ZO6 able to retain a higher speed based on aerodynamics or am I missing something?. I read some years ago that a Supra would not sustain speed aerodynamically after about 200+.

Just courious... You have bigger nuts of courage then I would... That must have been a rush....:willy:

Blessings,

[Jr]

SW,
Do you have the IAT and EGT at the end of the run?

[Y-TRY]

Stupid question but-

Is that also the same Supra that ran 185 in the 1/4?

Great car(s) either way.
