[TPR] Fwd: 200 MPH AT silver State?

[David Carpenter]

Below is an except from his Legacy / Obit.
I never met the man, but wish I had.
@ 204 mph you are covering 100 yards every one second!!
Just managing the fluctuations of road surface....it takes more concentration than the corners!

That record / speed is yet another BIG level above me!!
His record is one that may not be broken!!!

I was there the year Chuck Schaeffer set the earlier record.
I think he died two years later in a 5 mph Tractor roll over accident!!

Honor to them all, including 'Fast Boys' on the ground & in the air!!

We're all here just to make memories for those we leave behind!!!  Our time here is just blip in time!!
Make more memories today!!

Jimmy was an entrepreneur with myriad and varied interests. He was a professional race car driver, and a Guinness Book World Record holder for the fastest public highway land speed set at the Silver State Classic Challenge in Nevada. On May 12, 2012, he shattered the then-existing 12-year record of 207 mph, with a new average speed of 217.56 mph and a top speed of 253 mph. Jimmy was an avid collector of cars,

Well said Owen. Jim broke the record at Silver State in2006 in his NASCAR Dodge Charger “averaging” 217 MPH.

God bless you Jim.

 I know you will be waiting for us to remind us on how slow we were.

I always said:
"At that speed, 'Brain Cells' actually WORK AGAINST YOU!!"

2,480 lb car & 800 hp certainly helped propel the car into the insane area!!
It was WIDE & pushed a LOT of air. But that width & 12" wide Nascar slicks was perfect for my meager mental status!!
I'VE LOVED Corners all my life!!!

Dave Golder used to address people's questions the same way.
"If you want to go faster, it's Easy!!  It just takes $$$$$!!!
Best guess it takes a 100 HP to get 10 mph faster!!"

He wasn't far from the truth!!

Charlie had been making mods for years.  Still was short of the 200 mark!!  He finally built an 'Aero nose' for the car....& that gave him the next 10+ mph!!!
Not bad for a guy who spent his life well above the 'Sound Barrier' in fighters!!!  (Guarding the skies above YOU & brother Rick in Nam!!)

Love reading that Dave…you did 200+ in your old M&M race car so your opinion on TPR always appreciated.

There is so much happening up at elevation at Silver State. Add in all the other factors like wind and temp etc. And a 50 year old car with 500 HP

Art Stephens and I both used Russ Fulps to build our stroker engines…he build his stroker engine with a higher 3.77 ring gear and taller (.655?) 5th gear OD like mine and and down at sea level on the OC toll road we both maxed out at 183 at WOT with similar 830cfm carbs with no air damn or ground affects. Up on course at Silver State with some ground affects the most I could tab out in max speed was 177 or about 6 mph  slower. That was with the big cow catcher air dam teched for 180 in Super Sport division. 200 Mph? No where even close to 200.

Larry believed he did 200 MPH with a similar stroker as Art and I but he added many more aero mods to bottom of his Pantera. And a gurney lift on ass end…actually my old one off the burnt up Pantera!
🫣

So debate or conversation continues on 200 MPH at Silver State in a Pantera. junior averaged 177 (?) with a race built 429ci. I recall that engine made 650 RWHP…and he said he could not tap out more then 185….it was  not the later tube framed pantera (replica?) like the later race pantera he crashed in 1987 when we were in Ely together. Only pantera thing about thst beast was his sugar scoop in back.

My happy-place in my pantera since 2013 has been a 140-145 average. This year it may be less! Much less.
Haha

Keep the 200 MPH conversation alive! Someone with a TURBO in a pantera is gonna hit 200. Waiting for that to happen.

MD, blind, death, and still thinking he is living forever!

Ps ordering 200 MPH wheels and tires this month!

Ethanol / Carburetors: they have LOTS of seals gaskets.  Mostly designed 20 years before ethanol used 'on the street'!!!
Very Wise to avoid!!

Joel Hannig ran pure alcohol.  Used a FIFTY GALLON fuel cell because it used sooo much!!

I ran 1,350 degrees on pyrometer in M&M car.  & got 3.5 mpg & could make one run on 20 gallon tank.

Joel probably got 1.5 - 2 mpg.

Jetting for fuel type, just as big as altitude.....or even more soo!!!

I use ethanol free in anything with a carburetor. An Ethanol engine needs nearly twice the fuel flow as a gasoline engine, so as a rule of thumb, 10% ethanol will lean out the fuel burn about 5%, or you should put bigger fuel jets in to compensate.

You’ll see a third pump handle and hose at most gas stations in WA now.  It’s blue and supposedly pumps ethanol free fuel at a premium price.  Is it worth it?  We’ve tried it and not seen any improvements in mileage or power.  I’ll stick to the highest octane I can get.

Chris,

Methanol FREE?

Is that possible in Washington?

Am I mistaken that all gas sold had Methanol?
