Wow, after the drama this morning, we had a fantastic afternoon. The Cad Company and Performance Fabrication crews worked their butts off, did a full chassis inspection, fixed the sheetmetal, raised the suspension slightly and tuned the motor. Then we hit the salt again about 3:00pm, and Amir accelerated hard from 1st through 5th and exited the course at an incredible 366mph! That qualifies us for a new record, breaking the old record we set about 24 hours ago. The car is back in impound, and tomorrow morning at sunrise we back it up in the fresh cool air, which will hopefully make more power. Stay tuned. In the meantime, we offer a bird’s eye view of Amir in the cockpit, driving the SpeedLiner like it’s a landlocked intercontinental ballistic missile. Check out the G-forces as he accelerates through 3rd (it gets good around 1:10)
