Ed Peters (RIP) Texas Mile run in his Dodge Neon.

Retired Chrysler Engineer Ed Peters ran his Dodge Neon at the Texas mile in 2018. This Neon had a 2.4 engine that was destroked to 2.0, and from what we understand, this car was originally a body in white, manufacturers test car that Ed painted and built for racing. This race was in Oct 2018 and Ed passed away in early 2020. Its important to note that this car was originally built for road racing and not top speed runs, so, this run isnt nearly as exciting as Malcolm Wards 194mph Texas Mile run in a Dodge Neon!! Hehe

Ed was my neighbor in Timberlane when I was in high school. I had a 1986 Dodge 600 ES Turbo convertible as my first car and he gave me an ECU that turned my boost up to 16 PSI I think from the stock 7 PSI. I would take it to Goodnight Trail off Rankin and could smoke a stock 5.0 Fox body with the top down. Was nothing compared to the Omni GLH-S he had in his garage, though. Miss ya, neighbor.
