It’s about noon on Tuesday and we have a good news/bad news scenario. The good news: on our backup run this morning we made it official and broke our own A/BGS record running 351mph and creating a two-way average of 356mph. That beats the original record by 70 mph and our new record by over 20mph.

The bad news: we dropped a cylinder on the run, which is why the final velocity was lower than we hoped. So… now for more good news: we’re pulling the “A” motor and swapping in the 529 cubic inch “AA” motor that makes even more power. We’re hoping to have the new engine in the car by end of day, and will be running hard tomorrow morning looking to break the AA/BGS record we set back in October at the World Finals and possibly even break the 400mph barrier. Stay tuned!
