Chasing 200 MPH at the First Ever Ohio Mile! - HOT ROD Unlimited Episode 8

[@2008calander]

I just can't get enough of shows like this.

[@MotorTrendWatch]

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.

[@HEKTIC458]

That Nascar motor sounds amazing

[@morphman21]

Indeed. Sounds like a few of those cars are running old Nascar engines

[@MotorTrendWatch]

Thanks. We have great tripods, plus some of the best camera operators in the business!

[@WarHogKnight]

I have lived in Wilmington for 9 years and this is the coolest event that has been here in forever,

[@StockiGTI]

Holy Cow, that Car at 3:47 sounds incredible !!!!

[@morphman21]

3:47

[@cutlass8783]

It's because it's an old nascar engine

[@jasonricketts2618]

it's no 347. it's 351 Cleveland based engine. Ernie Elliott. Dawsonville, GA

[@notmirelnam248]

And a 2.0 liter Mitsubishi cleans up. I don't know how that works, but I'm impressed nonetheless.

[@TheSkinnybiker]

Small high winding engine with a turbo, I guess?

[@lancecurley5188]

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

[@flflash4717]

There are a multitude of classes at these events he won his class.

[@VermontMan]

Welcome to youtube where everyone is an expert weapons analyst and a connoisseur of cars who is never wrong.

[@ncneeds]

Nice coverage of this great looking event! It looks like there is a lot of fun to be had here. I saw a lot of unique cars at this event.

[@user-lv3zu7hr5p]

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.

[@ArmyMedicRN]

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.

[@eeeen321]

Mike **Reichen's** car is the only one that really demands my attention and respect... that little 4cyl. 4door is INSANE. Congrats Mike!!!

[@cbcollins]

hope to see the ECTA come back to wilmington for many years to come, our town needs events like this to bring the moral back up in this town. thanks ECTA

[@iant720]

I have to check that out! That Nash was awesome! but hold cow! 4G63 POWWAAAA!!!!!

[@ScottieDTV]

How Cool...Larry told me he got my channel on Hot Rod TV...he was not kidding...thanks guys..not trying to high jack your video but I do have three videos of the Mazda RX-7 on my channel..Thanks again!!!

[@GizGaz52]

WOW! Thank You so much for this video! I really feel the need for speed!

[@EJ25RUN]

That Mitsubishi. So much respect.

[@Dripdry74]

That evo 2 is nutty

[@darkhorsegarage9623]

I was there and pushed my 250cc motorcycle to 123 mph. Great track and the best people on earth.

[@Rahhhhhnman]

Another great video, thx David

[@jamdc2000]

Nice engine sounds, the end is great.

[@jeffcarras]

nice fusion with edge rims at 4:58

[@D00FY]

I like the yellow one with the Nascar engine. Sounds so nice.

[@lotuskid999]

i kinda like watching the old cars run.

[@spazemonkey]

Great video. What an impressive evo.

[@donnymaclean2077]

Damn,you gotta have some balls to go that fast on a motorcycle!

[@DrInsane76]

That sound @ 3:40! WOW! :-O

[@YourUncleScroatie]

NASCAR keeps the sheet metal high on the rear lower quarter panels to keep the cars under 200mph.lol

[@zuestoots5176]

Yet almost every super speedway the cars break 200

[@MotorTrendWatch]

Thanks for watching!

[@supra1722]

yeah, i was also surprised none of these full blown race cars couldn't top numbers of full weight street cars here at the Texas Mile a few years back...

[@specialkzim]

that place was awesome, I was there. there were a lot of really awesome cars running there

[@mustangmach04]

my sentiments exactly. my jaw is still on the floor!!

[@soufang]

Some of the racers from Drag Week should participate in this.

[@FJ55ironpig]

Great video thank you

[@94jrose]

How did I not know about this? I live in Ohio!!! This kid will be there next year

[@NegativeNumbers427]

1:26 The golf cart accepts the challenge!

[@BlueSkyScholar]

Curious what happened with Moultrie GA, It's not even mentioned in the ECTA history on their site. A ragtag SCCA chapter still runs autocross there.

[@Chrys-T]

Love how Kris Henderson had a mango

[@TylerLinner]

LOL drag racing a Lloyd? Awesome.

[@JcCameron93]

At 2:26, thats some awesome camara work.

[@kellysankale82]

that evo just screams down the track!

[@SILVERHORSE347]

I am still pissed I mi.ssed this event, Thanks alot Wayne

[@SeniorEspo]

You forgot to mention it was '94!! haha, thats nuts!

[@fogs5868]

Good video. Thanks

[@XXXCompAssesXXX]

I saw an RX7! That's my ride right there. I hate how they ruined it for the Flats!

[@pjbadgersuw26]

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

[@gurlblu2001]

Nice job MIKE ! Out of curiosity, why did you dial back the boost? Im waiting for that this to run 250 !

[@TheNecromancer6666]

I love that corvair

[@robertghorne8607]

I want to go there. Big time.👍🇺🇸

[@nswgb69]

Good video.

[@bryanroupe8646]

What is the 9k rpm 300 ci motor he is talking about ? Anyone ?

[@supra1722]

yeah lol, the Texas mile is probably one of the most competitive ones though

[@tylerschuster3540]

You should take the corvette race car there

[@pjbadgersuw26]

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.

[@AZM55555]

237 MILES PER HOUR ?!!!! In a Mitsubishi EVO 2 ?!!! WOW !

[@marshmountain]

It is a Chevrolet Corvair (with a Corvette LT1 engine, mounted "mid-engine)...

[@Destrxx]

Someone went over 200 mph with a 2 liter engine. That is insane

[@yepyepyepyep3267]

+Peanutbuterjelly my friend had a opel calibra 4x4 turbo that went 187 mph. and it was just slightly tuned everyday car. you dont need american style "all the liters you can get" engines to go fast

[@alexcorona]

the 80mm turbo is the replacement for displacement. 80mm is huge for a 4 banger.

[@EdwardAlcala]

+yepyep yepyep did it have a super long gear ratio? I know they need a lot hp to run through long gears

[@HenryDoohickeyII]

Makes me want to blow 40 psi though my 1.8 and see what happens.

[@pikachupowers]

Arent the brakes gonna get really hot if the spokes cover the whole brake? it does make it go a little faster because it reduces air drag but still..

[@XC0688]

The Jesel car now resides at Dale Earnhardt Jr property

[@TheCymbalProject]

Every car should have moon discs

[@beautyinmetal]

very cool

[@kevjt]

You all would be suprised at how hard it is the get to 200 mph let alone over 200 in a full bodied car.

[@l3wi5spad3]

dude sounds just like jello biafra

[@chrishenniker5944]

luis vermillion That's exactly what I thought, he does sound like Jello Biafra.

[@koolride40]

Talk is cheep!!!! Bring it to Wilmington!!!!

[@BelowAmbient]

GO MIKE!!

[@KeithTurk]

Nice work David.... I'm amazed at the keyboard experts on here.... I can honestly tell they've never actually done 200mph with anything let along a 4 cylinder... Mike's little Evo... just annihilated a ton of exceptionally well modified super cars.... so... that having been said... keep in mind these people have met a series of very stiff safety regulations as well... of course the cars have been modified... that's the point of testing them...

[@GrecoRoman123]

Re 7:45 237 mph in a street legal car within 1 mile?! Holy crap

[@DethThrasher1]

guy looks and sounds like richard christy lol

[@Thundering24]

my non twin T non-z06 ran 180 even at the Texas mile, stock, so yeah, your description would easily hit 200

[@Mothodus]

Dude, go to the Texas Mile, cars break into the 200's like nothing.

[@ofnir123]

Congrats. Want a cake?

[@LegacyOfFear]

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.

[@khristiangillespie2416]

Avoid airshifter like the purge palisade just clutch kick and bamp!

[@hitssquad]

Yes, but the intersections weren't controlled with lights.

[@Steel86Curtain]

4:58 Ford Fusion :DDD

[@gorillagirlgorilla]

Those japanese car are surely be modified. No wonder ricers love them but they are still rice cookers in my books at the end of the day. :p

[@alexrex20]

Texas has been doing this TWICE a year for the past couple years now...

[@austinslone5294]

hey guys, take a look at my videos of our saturn!! we went 206 at the fall meet, and will be there this year in april to run the top speed challenge. we plan on DRIVING three cars (one being Kris Henderson's Jag) to the event and hopefully come home with a jacket! see y'all in April!

[@LingerregniL]

I live in Wilmington, Ohio. :)

[@Griesalpstyla]

The wheel from Camaro of which manufacturer are the accurate designation Please

[@TheMattDOOM]

Nice!

[@xsuperstar95]

SWEET ! ohio is alot closer than bonneville for me

[@ariell92]

wow, what an echo does it make in that place imagine an old F1 V10 in there or a LFA

[@Remo860]

I was hoping for that Mazda to have a wankel rotary.

[@64gravely]

Those cars are nowhere near modified enough to do 200mph in the quarter! haha!

[@wolftmfg]

So cool :D

[@KeithTurk]

oh and guys.... because this was the first meet, everyone was limited severely to the number of runs as well speeds ....

[@Kaipeternicolas]

ya I have. What do you want kid?

[@BlueCollarExCalifornian]

Over 200 mph in a 2.0L? Wow. I wonder how many rpm's.

[@64gravely]

I went 300 in the 1/4 on my john deere!

[@plymouth426ful]

that makes two of us

[@royaloreca]

I have just one thing to say about your comment sir,.... THANK YOU!!

[@netmatrix75]

At 1.32, what car is that?

[@blazzing4321]

Ford GT did 212mph 1/2 Mile and 257mph in 1 mile. :)

[@codymoe4986]

Power adder?

[@Jaydee254]

lol, it still has the mazda chasis

[@64gravely]

If you call a lambo Aventador a volvo then I would believe you....

[@AZM55555]

I

[@jhbombb]

haha, i wish MY Intrepid would reach 200 MPH!

[@bakerbolton8476]

awesome

[@koolride40]

Most of the post i've seen here are from one who have never been to a Land Speed Racin event and have no concept to what is involved in the safety factors in these cars.Lightened up race cars,NOT, ballest weight is added in most cars. The Red Mazda has FULL interior and weight with driver is 3750lbs, Not a drag car is it! Talk is cheep!!! Bring it to Wilmington!!! We'll see if you can back up that talk.But untill,just watch and enjoy at our expence! Underdog!!
