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.

None. The car runs in production supercharged. No altering of any kind. Only removal of mirrors and windshield wipers per the rules. Everything else stays.

Just a few pictures I had time for during the week. We were pretty busy working all week. There were over a 1000 awesome cars. I just had no time for pictures.

These were cars that were in tech next to us.
