Lets see 312 mph in  A 1.3/10 MILE TRUE RECORD. 360 MPH IN 3 1/2 MILES. WHAT WAS THE 1.3 MILE TIME,JUST WONDERING?

Not sure if there is any info on how fast Don Vesco went, when he was racing the Dodge Viper at El Mirage.
Maybe Rick, Jinx or Glen have an answer. Sure looks like he really started moving, after he passed that Viper.
Love watching that video. Gives me goose bumps. What a Great Guy he was.
There you go ! Hope this link works.

Great video, thanks   Dean

I'll be watching that video with the sound up manymore times!

We weren't really shooting for the fastest on dirt record,  just kind of thought of it on the way home and felt like we may have been close or slightly over it.  We did GPS and front wheel speed monitoring so not as if we have a sanctioned record anyway.  Just a trivia type question.

Here are some vids from our testing session.

Here is a shot of the tracks left after a pass. Notice between the outer wheel tracks appears to have been "swept clean" by the wing. The track held up rather well and there was plenty of bite in terms of traction. Both Rob and I had some wheel spin shortly into second gear but it was easily controlled.

Brilliant videos, I wish I had more time to watch them over and over.  THANKS     Dean

I noticed that the dust seemed to be well contained in a rather small trail rather than spreading out-- can this be an indication of the exit air flow? The car looks very stable. From the track indentations it looks like you have quite a bit of weight on the nose wheel- or is this due to something else?

Great progress!

Neil. That is a billet tireless wheel if I remember correctly.
