I think your right Monsignor.....They are running on a old airstrip....but even
running on asphalt at SS Junior was running well in excess of 850+ Hp to make
200 mph.....He had a recordable top speed of 206 Mph through radar traps at
Silver State....not the 225-250+ speeds I have read about.
And while Junior may have run those higher speeds at sea level when you factor
in temps, cross and head winds, course conditions and Hp losses at elevation
(1%for every 1,000') its gonna be a challenge.
The other Junior (Gottleib) ran the 850Hp Camaro at SS at 17 in '89 and set the
'average' record of 190+ and while some disputed the actual recorded distance
(84 vs 90 miles) no one can dispute what mongo balls either Junior had......
Junior Gottlieb, his dad and a crew brought Big Red out of retirement with allot
of media attention to run the SS/NORC again 2006.....before he ran Gottlieb'S
dad told me he and others thought they could beat Chuck Shafer's record average
at SS of 207 mph set in 2000. Instead Gottleib averaged 163 Mph....at the awards
banquet a much more mature (now 17 years wiser) and somber Junior Gottleib
said,
"No one is going to break Chuck's record until they repave that road (H318). .
.but Gottlieb only averaged 163 Mph on that day he ran in 2006. Yea, 163
mph....Many other Unlimited drivers were faster....but not by much.
Probably a combination of pucker factor and course conditions. The road has
some rough sections some of which were repaved last year so I am looking forward
to breaking Chucks record next month! ;-))))
So back to reality, Chuck Shafers average ORR record in a CUP race car is still
standing at 207 mph....no one in 10 years has come close. Even guys running twin
turbo Viper's and Ferrari's with 1,100 HP haven't broke 200 (Average) in recent
years.
I know the Mojave One Mile is only in its 2nd year Dave, but what is the current
record there to beat?

MD,
as best I can tell, one needs about 800 wheel HP to make the 200mph mark. I'll
be VERY interested to see how speeds shake out.
Believe Mojave is Sunday only this month - I'll look for news!
thanks for the update.
