Very impressive!
 
Congratulations, Mark. I love it when a plan comes together!

A word of caution, however- going fast can become an addiction- :wink

That is approaching Warp Speed there Mark ! Well done, and the GT Nation could not be prouder !
 
I've watched the videos on FB at least a dozen times. So stoked for those guys. What an achievement.

For those who have never met Mark here's a picture just after the record run. Patrick, Mark and tuners. Congratulations to Mark Heidaker and his team. PS I've seen this with my own eyes as Patrick is sitting on the starting line with the Air Conditioner on until he makes his run and I was standing there sweating like a big dog.Ha Ha.

Totally AWESOME! I wish I could have been there to see that. So cool! Congrats Mark!
 
How long did it take ? Reread several of the fb posts, but didn't find the time.
 
Great run. 300 mph doesn't seem so impossible. Not easy but not impossible. Is Mark running the OEM gears?

Best I can tell by the inside video taken was 21 1/2- 22 seconds. Pretty damn quick.
 
Here's the in-car footage.

It's amazing how hard that thing is accelerating at 250 mph. Clearly just out for a stroll below 200.

Wow pushing 9000 and 5th on the tach. A stock motor with grenade that RPM.

Wow braking zone must be unsettling, as the car spun while still at about 100 turning onto a taxiway.

What an accomplishment. Well done
