Can you ask Terry if he shifted into 6th on his 238 run?

You have no idea how happy I am that Soroush wasn't the one to knock me down. Lol

It couldn't be a better guy to do it........Congrats again Terry. You are officially the 3rd fastest GT in the standing mile.

We are having a blast out here. I only have limited access to reply but hi to all and thanks for the support...

Hi Mullet,
I had to shift to 6th. I was flirting with the limiter in 5th past 231 and didn't want to take any chances. It was still pulling strong and I think with a stronger start I would have broken 240.:eek

Also happy to report A Ford GT now holds the record for fastest ever car in the Mojave Mile! I am proud of Monica too. She is still the first woman past 200mph here and still holds the womans record. Summer is now officially a 200mph girl and was giving Monica a run for her money!

CONGRATS to all of you. And also to Tom for pulling off this coup to include the GT only day 1. Given that the two day GT school was at Tom's behest also, I'm doubly pleased that he's well on his way (if not there already) to having the MOST 200+ MPH runs!!!

Ah I could have moved the rev limiter to 7250 and given you wiggle room to 241.87 in 5th !
