The results? Romero pushed around 225 mph but encountered trouble on each run, while Hasport's K-series gave out at a steady 145 mph. Holdener's 728 whp B18C was detuned to 650 whp just so he could hook up on the salt, and it paid off with a record-setting 227 mph. And the Macmillans went on to set multiple records. Doug went as fast as 234 mph, setting three records while Miriam blasted as high as 189 mph.
Speed Week is racing, but it's different from anything else. The preparation is intense and the things you see are simply borderline insane. There is no place like the salt-anywhere-and there's nothing like traveling a mile in under20 seconds.
