Congrats mike you killed that mile. What's the final gear ratio? I love ams but this guy did it without a multimillion dollar shop.

I'm sure mike will be the first to share that there is a lot of things that are very particular strain and load pertinent to the challenge of the standing mile that are not reached in other forms of racing.
AMS is new at this but they seem to be fast learners

AMS did a nice job their first time out. But to pick up 10mph more is unlikely. Mike has been doing this for a long time. I don't know where they would make up the mph. I think weight is a wash right now and Mike could go a lot lighter.Power is a wash they both make over 1100 whp and to top it off Mike is still on his "small" turbo. If anyone can beat him it is AMS as they have incredible resources but it is kind of nice to see a privateer succeed.

Mike Reichen hasn't been doing this much longer. He held the record in 2007 which is when he got into the sport. We are in 2010 that's only 3 years..
One more thing to note is, at this speed, 3 mph is alot.. For him to get to 237 is truly amazing.. Look at the weight and the Aero of the car. It's a freaking shoe box.. He will only get faster.
I'm all for friendly competition but this definitely deserves it's congrats.
