I was just reading up up Mike Reichens Evo from the Silver State Classic. He has set the bar really high. This may be the biggest challenge AMS had faced yet. Mike's Evo went 212 MPH to take top honers last year in both top speed and 0-200 mph-0. He won the 0-200-0 by 600 feet! If anyone has a chance at topping this it is Tommy and AMS, but it is quite a challenge.

the lighting in that shop is awesome. Good luck and subscribed. There's a bunch of folks that can't wait to see the completed project. Then again, when is a project that involves an Evo complete?

Just to let you all know I was there in Arnold NE when the 215.9 was done and let me tell you it took some big BALLZZ to do it. It is a 2 lane highway with no shoulder. We are not talking a air strip that is big enough to land a jumbo jet. I talked to Mike Reichens after his runs and it was white knuckle the whole way he said. He was drifiting from white line to white line on both sides of the road the entire way. Let me tell you the guy has some guts and it shut up the corvette guys quick

Ditto, Gigantic brass ones Put me in a Veryon and I will give it a go. No way in hell in one of our bread boxes. I'll settle for watching Tommy attempt this feat.

His standing mile 212 record was destroyed by a full street car supra.

This year should be a great year for all forms of motorsports!

Shouldn't the DSMs be hard to beat given close hp numbers due to the superior aero advantage?

Thats what i have always thought. Both Mike and Andrew have also been doing this for awhile and really have had time to fine tune there cars.
