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.

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.

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...

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.

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!!
