It has been a long 3 years since the Mach 1 Project began,
there have been many obstacles to overcome
but I have finally met and actually surpassed my goal
of running 150 MPH in a 1/4 mile or less in an open jet.
I planned on running sometime during the Labor Day weekend
and chose to run Friday morning in hopes of getting the best water possible.
We arrived at Modesto Res around 10:00 AM,
the conditions were absolutely phenomenal.
Around 11:00 AM from a ~25 MPH rolling start to flattening the butterflies and hitting 10,000 RPM for a count of 6,
the GPS recorded a max speed of 152 MPH.
Many thanks to Brian (Blue Boat) for not only helping out again with the run today but for being a great friend.
Also, many thanks to the good friends I have met along the way who have supported the project.
