  • On this episode of HOT ROD Unlimited, HOT ROD Editor In Chief David Freiburger explores the very first standing-mile race to be held on the runway at the Airpark in Wilmington, Ohio. This race was sanctioned by the East Coast Timing Association, which for years had been running on an old WWII runway at the airport in Maxton, North Carolina. When military needs caused the ECTA to lose access to Maxton at the end of the 2011 season, the city of Wilmington was happy to accept the racers. The very first meet was filled to capacity with 175 entries, and despite rain delays, 24 vehicles eclipsed 200 mph at the event. Watch as Freiburger makes his first passes at Wilmington, hunting for 200 mph in Wayne Jesel's former Busch-series NASCAR race car.

    To those of you posting the belief that it should be easier for these cars to run 200 mph, you need to understand more about what's going on. The class rules at this event (and at Bonneville) are based on displacement, aspiration, and fuel. Many folks run small engines, naturally aspirated, on gasoline, making it far more difficult to run fast than with a turbocharged supercar. The car Freiburger drove in the video has 300ci, NA on gas, and it has run 210 mph. Try that yourself sometime.

    That's because it's about the experience of researching, buying, building, testing, modifying, and racing these homemade machines. If it's insanely fast, then that's awesome.

      Small high winding engine with a turbo, I guess?

    • @lancecurley5188
      @lancecurley5188 6 лет назад +2

      35 pounds of boost through an 80mm turbo will do it, those little 2L motors can go well over 1000hp

    For all that think they can run 200, Show up and bring your ride. If you get past the 200 mph wall we will all give you props. Anyone can run 200 at home. When you get your time slip its a whole new ball game for 99% of people.

  • @pjbadgersuw26
    @pjbadgersuw26 12 лет назад

    You should check out the ugr lambos and tt ford GT's which do 250+ and are full weight, stock looking street cars that can be daily driven.

  • @pjbadgersuw26
    @pjbadgersuw26 12 лет назад

    By how extensively modified these cars look, I would expect 200 mph traps in the quarter let alone a full mile lol.

    @LegacyOfFear 11 лет назад

    They don't really use the brakes after the speed runs. It's what the chutes are for. If they ever drive the cars (aside from taxi'ing too & from pits at events) they'd just change the wheels.
