Ecmlink Sponsored 1991 Eagle Talon goes 209.622(video inside)

biglady112 · Aug 24, 2010

We had an interesting week to say the least at Speed Week 2010. Lots of highs and lows. But we went faster each run and had a blast in the end. Too many details to list that would take away from the numbers we produced.

We were very close on this run to attacking the record from Raver Motorsports. The car started the break up around 212mph so Nick pedaled it to a 209.622 out the back door. He did achieve 209.575 at the four mile mark though. So there is still some room to grow. This was also only done at 30psi@6900rpm. We had one promising run he shut down early at 36psi but hurt the timing belt in the process. In the next few events we are looking to get the boost up even higher. After three years of a lot of learning the car is finally moving forward with success.

Thanks to everyone who made our week possible.

Damn that's fast. Congrats and that record is within eyesight for sure.

According to GPS, we were only 4mph away from matching their time. Not sure about a direct link. I clicked on it and it opened for me just fine.

Is this on the HX52 setup? Awesome video by the way too.

Videos fine here too.

Nick and I both run a Holset HX52. So yes. Thanks for the comments. It was a hard week.

I just cannot imagine the excitement and adrenaline rush that you would be getting from running that. I've gone 180 on my bike but that wasn't for too long of a time and especially to be able to feel that much torque pushing you into your seat. Drool!

wow thats fast, congrats on getting it there. Is there a speed you are shooting for?

Zdrummer15 · Aug 24, 2010

Congratulations, that's awesome! I also could not imagine the adrenaline rush of going over 200mph, but I'm sure it's amazing.

biglady112 · Aug 25, 2010

250mph or more with the chassis. In the altered class of course. 217mph in G/PS. It is 225 if we put the F motor in. Same guys own both records with a galant VR4. The faster speed is F/PS. F is engine size, PS is production supercharged.

Both our life time goals are to go over 300mph.

I thought we scared this guy off. He put us right on his front page.

Just a few pictures I had time for during the week. We were pretty busy working all week. There were over a 1000 awesome cars. I just had no time for pictures.

These were cars that were in tech next to us.
