    Anybody know these guys? https://www.facebook.com/Saad-Racing-138317469580184/
    They come to these events in a twin turbo Gen 2 and run close to 200 in the half. Is the owner here?

    A Ford GT went 279+ at the Texas Mile today. There were Vipers there, but I haven't seen any times yet.

    That's nuts! Was the owner driving? I hate when I see the owners of these standing mile cars that hire drivers to break these records.

    If my car could go 279 in the mile I would hire a driver too.....too fast for me to run on a runway of that length.

    It is amazing that the car looks to be nearly stock bodied and does not go airborne.

    279 is straight nuts! I wonder if the risk of a tire blowout is much higher at those speeds? One could only assume so.

    Areed! 176 is scary enough. I think once I got to the speeds where I had to hire another driver, I'd just stay at the previous horsepower level. Imagine how you'd feel if the guy crashed and died in your car lol
