Gentlemen,

As I sit here typing on my iPhone, I am on top of Ray's motorhome to get cell service. This is an emotional day for all of us. Performance Power made one last run trying to catch Ray with everything screwed to the max. They crossed the line trailing smoke at 252.....day over. Team Peak & Heffner Performance are the new World Record Holders!!!

I'm stunned!! I was THERE, and left at 3:30. Missed the final run. Congratulations Ray and Jason (and thanks for the hospitality). Next time I'm staying until the stars come out.

[Hennessey Performance]

Congrats guys. It takes close to 2000 hp to run those kind of speeds. Simply incredible.

Congrats to Ray and Jason. Think about this..for those that are running the mile at 160-170 Ray would pass you like your standing still :biggrin

Great Googly Moogly is that freaking fast.

Congrats to Ray and Heffners performance!

I was next to this car all day at the Texas mile and can honestly say this car has more left in it.

Congrats! Sure wished I would have stayed and witnessed this awesome feat. Way to go--

 

[TCT]

I was expecting 270. Lame.


Kidding!!! :biggrin

Congrats!!! Truly epic in every way, shape and form.

This reminds me of when one of Jason built GTS's went 7.99 in the 1/4 mile making it the first Viper in the 7's.

Wish I was there this weekend as I remember the feeling and watching Jason that day at the drag strip. I bet this victory is even sweeter.

Congrats Ray and team Heffner. :cheers

Congratulations to Ray, Jason, and crew. :cheers:cheers:thumbsup:thumbsup
Maybe I am going to have to get me one of those TT thingies..:wink

As I have it, FORD GTs hold at least One Two and Three positions for speed at the mile events, Kinda like it should be!:usa:usa:usa

I have a twin turbo ford Gt. I just watched Ray's GT put 60 MPH on what I ran in Goliad. AYFKM?

Team Peak lays it down.

Ditto Dave. I was standing right by the finish line when Ray made his final pass. 4 mph slower than he ran Thursday while dialing everything in. But Thursday he didn't have a killer headwind. When Ray went by it sounded like an RPG round had just been shot by my right ear. The car was pushing over 280 mph of air out of the way and the wind noise was louder than the engine!! It made my TT GT look like a golf cart.
:cheers :cheers :cheers

I don't know how to respond to such RECORDS.... I have to go outside for a smoke.... Wait! I don't even smoke!! DAMN. The word congrats doesn't seem very meaningful in this instance. Wow...

Wait, does that mean he ran 271 on thursday? :eek
