2008 FR500C Ford Mustang GT at Bonneville Salt Flats

A 2008 FR500C, driven by Danny Thompson on behalf of Hajek Motorsports, ventured out to set a new land speed record. The FR500C Mustang achieved 251.74 officially, but needed to repeat the speed to lock down the record. The team is planning to go back to the Flats in October to capture the record.

why do you people insist on putting music to every video. The only thing that should be heard is the sound of the car. Absolutely ruined. i was suckered into watching it for 5 seconds, but hopefully not too many others are.

You are correct. You don't understand.

Land speed racing isn't simply about the speed, but also the distance. Sure, you can cobble a car together to do the 1/4 quickly, but how many of those cars that do the quarter in 250 can handle having the loud pedal on the floor for longer than 7-10 seconds? Not many.

How long do you think it takes this mustang to cover 5 miles WFO?

Consider that and you'll begin to understand what Land Speed Racing is about. and why it draws a certain kind of genius.

Gay music, gay car, gay video. Rednecks probably love this shit.

[raginroadrunner]

You are correct...anyone that has to override the engine sounds oughta be flogged...

[exBMRguy]

you would never see a stock Ford do that. They never compare to real sports cars that re build for this type of thing. Silly Fords, Racing is for True Sports Cars.

well the red 2010 mustang was built in Hennessey just about 50 yards away from my house well lets just say the shop is in the same yard as my house is in lol. but yeah your right. And i asked Danny if there going to be doing a nother car for the yellow one and i think he said yes but not sure i will have to ask brent.
