Event Coverage Speed Demon runs 462 out the end

What he said

 

That, my friends, is movin' on!

 

They are warming up the engine!

 

George aborted the run ... Smoke & Fire! ... He is out of the car ... Oil reported on the ground.

 

Threw a rod, big window in the block. They are doing the 299 inch engine and hope to run in the AM.

 

I was beginning to wear out the refresh button on my keyboard...

Too bad, but it's been a hell of a week for them!

Too bad but damn that's awesome! Get it back together and keep running!

 

First Chute took forever to blossom and the 2nd never did.

 

Huh?

 

Thanks.

 

Damn!

Oh yea, this recording will expire in ten days. I'm not sure how to save it.

 

441 mph with 299 ci.... I was expecting them to crack 400 or in the 410-419 range...

Wow...

 

you can save Mp3 and aiip files of that 445mph run so you can crank it up in your garage...
right clip on the icons below the player bar on teh above link

 

Mickey Thompson would be proud.

 

That is on thier own 363 record. Lookis like the could not back this one up either

 

Broke again on the backup

 

AND broke again running the 4 cyl engine this morning.

Can someone build them a bulletproof driveline???

 

SHAAZAM!!! that is f-in awesome!

 

Sounds like that was their only shaft for the 4 banger

 

From Ray the rats mouth

I think P&M have caught about the only lucky break (bad choice of words, maybe) of the week. Nothing (apparently) is broken. As Kenny Duttweiler explained it to me, the plate that holds the shift actuators in place shifted (another one) slightly and when George attempted to go from 2nd to 3rd, the transmission went out of 2nd, but due to the movement of the actuator plate, couldn't engage 3rd. It ended up in neutral, instead.

They're preparing to run again.

 

Word from landracing.com is that they are packing it in.

 

That 4 way split screen video with the speedo super-imposed was cool!

 

Here's the video of the 462mph run:
