Boys and girls he did it again, Jim Shauer has made history once again. He became the first in rc drag racing history to run 100+ miles per hour. With the offical mph of 104.09, and he did it in front of 300 plus people.
On short notice we got to be apart of RCX(RC Expo) in pomona Ca. We got to setup a full length track(132 feet) just outside the main building. When it was time to run people were told to go out side and watch as Dan Chase and Jim Shauer attempt to set a world record. Dan who had run 99.89 miles per hour the week before was first up. It didn't go so well for him as he hit the half track center ramp slightly damaging the car. Next came the Rainman Jim Shauer and he rockets down the track with a 1.528 at a blistering 104.09 MPH! The first guy to run a 1.4 pass has now become the first guy to run 100+ miles per hour. And if that wasn't enough Jimmy decieds to make another run and sets the rc drag racing world on fire. He runs a asphalt ripping 1.4035 @ 98.39 mph..... 1.4035 Absolutly awsome. Jimmy you are the MAN. Jimmy is now the quickest and fastest man in RC dragracing history.  Its only the start of the 07 season and already the MHRA has made history in a big way. What will the rest of the year have in store. Who knows, but Im sure it will only get better as we roll on down the road, a hundred and thirty two feet at a time. |
