E85 Viper Breaks World Record Goes 220.7 mph in Standing Mile!

This day has been a long time coming and I am happy to say WE DID IT!  All the upgrades paid off and we ran Wed and Thurs with a best of 220.7 mph at 27.41 seconds.  This beats the current record held by a gasoline car at 217.85
In attendance were members of the press and Joel Sheltrown a State Representative for Michigan.  Thanks first to Ron Jr and Sr, Johnnie and Drake.  Also thanks to all those who attended and helped out.  Finally thanks Trish (my wife) and Mahanna (my daughter) for hanging out on a runway all day 🙂
