Speedweek 2026 was the car's fastest pass it has made but it was still a few MPH short of the 305 mph record. The car is showing up, it can handle the speeds, but we just need to get a hold of the tune up that can stand the 5 miles of torture she needs to endure to achieve our goal. We will come back stronger and better prepared as soon as we can to take another shot at breaking the record and chasing a dream. A big thank you to everyone that makes this all happen.

It's always a learning experience just some times you learn more than you thought you would. Things can get very interesting very fast. We were charging hard and on pace for a new record when things got interesting. We will inspect and rebuild for a faster and stronger performance. Speedweek 2026 is right around the corner. This dream is not possible with out the help from lots of amazing people and companies and for that we are very grateful for.

Speedweek 2025 did not go as planned for our team this year. The car is showing us so much potential, but we still keep having issues arise that are keeping us from keeping the throttle open long enough to take it to the big end. We lost oil psi just after shifting into high gear at about the 2 mile mark as we were going 268 mph. We hurt some parts that could not be fixed on the salt, so we loaded up and headed home. Now, after the clean-up, we have torn the car completely apart and are starting the rebuild, so we will be ready for the next event. Our racing family suffered a loss this year as fellow racer Chris Raschke lost his life pursuing his dreams on the salt. God Speed Chris Raschke.

We are in full swing for 2025 speedweek. In less than 3 weeks, we will be chasing records and hopefully getting into the elusive 300mph chapter of the Bonneville 200mph club that I have been dreaming about since I was a little kid. We have been putting in work at El Mirage to help us get a better handle on the tune-up, and I think we are getting close. None of this is possible without the help of some amazing people and companies.
