Moderators Note - I took the liberty of renaming this thread to appropriately reflect Mark's momentous accomplishment and I am moving it to the General Discussion section of the Forum. 257.7 MPH in the standing mile. Yeah baby!

Sweet! You guys ready to roll?

Seank · Mar 20, 2012

We should be good to go! We have some minor stuff to finish but it looks like we are going to make it. Kevin at Hennessey has been busting his ass!

To hear this thing run in person is like standing next to a lion when it's roaring. They both sound like they are going to eat you....

B.M.F. · Mar 21, 2012

Sounds Good Mark...Hopefully we will see you in a couple days

My car was a bare chassis on tuesday still with no motor,trans, body panels and only a dash and windsheild in it. Running tonight and body panels all on tomorrow. Hopefully everything falls in place in the next two days and ill be on my way down. GOOD LUCK

That car sounds sick. At a stoplight, people won't know if you're just idling or if you're shooting a Gatling-gun at them. Nice work sir!

I am up that proverbial creek... without a supercharger to get me home :shrug

...but I know Dustin is going to come thru for me :confused

246.8 mph is the new record for the Texas Mile (for cars running on the Chase Field runway in Beeville). Congrats to owner Mark Heidaker and driver Sean Kennedy. I think that the car has a bit more in it. We will see.

B.M.F. · Mar 24, 2012

250.1 Sean just ran in marks car

dbk · Mar 24, 2012

John told me it was 250.7 mph, which is the new Texas Mile record. Congrats to Mark, Sean, John and all else involved!

dbk · Mar 24, 2012

Got picture confirmation of the timing board, it was 250.7. Awesome. :cheers

tmcphail · Mar 24, 2012

Congrats !

Mullet · Mar 24, 2012

timing slip counts, not board

slip says 250.1 and Highdecker just said that's the official number.
