[TPR] Fwd: Silver State classic May 2012 240 MPH Fastest car in USA Jim Peruto

I think it was you DC that had just finished the SSC and all 4 of your tires were glossy and glistening as they sat there smoking as you sat there to collect your SSC finishing plaque for just making it that far. And we are still here remembering how we survived it all, with unbelievable stories. I just visited my 8 year older former High School teacher and fellow (RubelCastle.com) castle builder in Denver while his physical therapist was there we recounted story after story of building the Castle project together to her. As I left, I simply told her to take good care of my old friend, he earned his disabilities.

Those descriptions & pictures tell a Heck of a Story!!!!!!!

For the Life of Me:

I'll never be MORE Amazed....then for us to have such luck....

That we can share those stories today....because we're STILL HERE!!!!

As I told MD many times:

"We have stories....that nurses in our old folks home....

Will never believe!!!!

Dan Stoltenburg, my last Nav: ended up in nursing home after a serious stroke. (West of Phoenix area)

When I heard, I put together a 3-ring folder with pictures, stories & a flash drive with videos from that race day!!

(We got a big #1 Trophy that day)

I wanted him to have proof to show around!!!

His wife, Cam, thanked me a bunch.  He had it on his dresser!!

If it brought Smiles....it was a success!!

I have always had an eye for Air Management under the car to keep as much original appearance as possible. Since I’m on the 6’2” large size, I had dropped floor pans installed, and since we were set up at the lower designed ride height, I drug my butt a lot. So, I installed our own plastic skid pads and we protect the seat mounting bolts with our design of a short ¼” thick U channel to drill and tap that we mount the seats in with. This short ¼” deep channel for seat bolt threads became solid filled with the concrete from the Bridge. I don’t think we had an inch between our butt cheeks and hard concrete impacting at 155MPH. The concrete is probably still there imbedded into the seat rails.

Can’t here the road noise at that speed, that’s all behind you, it’s just the wind noise coming at you that you hear. When your airborne, it’s still just the wind, but with a little horizon attitude amplification, and then the camera goes to snow upon the 14 point landing impact, that’s how we knew we stuck the landing. Oh yeah, the 14 points were, 4 tires and 10 hard chassis points including 4 of the underside of our seat rails where the concrete was imbedded into the U-Channel seat fastening rails. You tend to feel those 4 points much more than the others.

Love to see videos if you find them. 

At high speed, it gets pretty noisy in car.

Airborne:  everything gets QUIET!!!

Only for a second or two!!!!

Very few would understand what is happening!!!  

At speed, it could be just an inch, but distance traveled can be kinda wild!!!

These SSC 200 MPH video’s are sparking a flame under me, sorry I’ve been so quite, but I’ve been under the weather after visiting my Daughter in Denver a week ago. I haven’t had a cold since January of 2020. But, After viewing these 200MPH video’s, I should figure out where my in-car Video’s went and try to figure out how to post them. Two come to mind, of course when we pulled up on the K&N Hennessy Viper at 202MPH, (I was radared unofficially at 194 while going away) and when we went airborne at 155 at the bridge crossing at the Pont Express.

Jim may have been in the 250 mph range.  Long straight, slight downhill.   Known to be a smooth section.
