TPG Tuning FP Zero new mph record - 154mph!

Just when I thought the race season was over, we decided to give it one last go. The Evo was skating down the track as only the first 60ft were prepped...one time. Plus, no burnout box. It took us awhile to get the car dialed in as the DA had changed so drastically from Pittsburgh to MIR. Two good videos showing what the day was like. We'll see if we can hit 160mph on a stock frame in 2014!

That thing is making some good power! Congrats on the new times.

What final drive / tire combo are you using? It is hard to tell from the video.

Ok, I have the stupid question. What's the dude doing behind the car when it launches? Looks like he was holding something attached to the car.?.?

Looks like the usual job of the battery disconnector.

I don't have a staging brake and the car tends to roll just a hair before it launches. Jay was just hanging onto the bumper for me so that I didn't roll through the beams. I don't think it actually was tripping the beams, but its better safe than sorry.

Needless to say a staging brake is on the short list of mods for next season.
