[Phil Veldheer Racing]

Going with my 99 Z-28 that I drag race now. We are putting in a new cage this winter and Parsons and Myers is building a Brodix-headed, Quick-Fuel-carbed, Moroso-vacumed (?) 388 CI small block that will clear 200 mph. I plan on taking it to the MAXTON Mile race in NC first. This car will go 200 mph, but to get in the 200 mph club, you need to beat an existing record and then go 200 mph or over. It is not as simple as going 200 mph. I want to get my feet wet first. You can go to you tube and see a stock new vette go 200 mph and spin.
I plan on letting the driver of my Z-28 drag it for two more years and then convert it to Bonneville that winter. M/T 8 ply BONNEVILLE tires are $750.00 each and I have to have the Moon Disk screw on hub caps, welded steel wheels...plus a very large fire extinguisher. Hans-type devise, a tech like no other tech, parachutes, etc....

I will be racing my stocker at the IHRA NITRO JAM at US 131 Motorsports Park on August 12 and 13 and flying to Salt Lake City on the 14th. It is not as easy as you think. Imagine going down a dirt road at 200 mph. Stories of cars going 195 mph then adding 200 pounds in front and 300 pounds in the rear and suddenly picking up 15 mph because of spinning the tires at 195 MPH !!!!
