    Default Hennessey Ford GT Throws Down A 257.7 MPH Standing Mile



    Hennessey Ford GT Runs 257.7 MPH in One Mile - Sets Texas Mile & Standing Mile World Records

    MONTEREY, CALIFORNIA – Sean Kennedy drove team owner Mark Heidaker’s Ford GT to a new Texas Mile speed record of 257.7 miles per hour during this weekend’s Texas Mile Event at Chase Field Industrial Complex in south Texas.

    The team posted the amazing speed, which was a full 4.6 mph faster than the nearest competitive speed, during cool conditions Sunday morning of the three day event. The previous record of 250.1 mph was equaled by the team on Saturday during their second pass of the day. Instead of trying to eclipse the record Saturday afternoon the team chose to wait for the more favorable conditions Sunday morning.

    Kennedy of Katy, Texas began the weekend Friday with a checkout pass of 216 mph and ran 228 mph on the second run of the event. By the end of the day, the team had eclipsed the 230 mph mark at 230.6 mph. Their opening run Saturday morning produced a 246.8 mph speed and the team followed up later with their record tying 250.1 mph speed.



    The team plans to attend the next event at the Texas Mile October 26 – 28, 2012 and hopes to eclipse its own record. “We’re coming back in October for sure,” said Kennedy. “We want to go 260!”
