Scott said the entire engine and car combination hasn`t changed from Drag Week. The excellent result they achieved is mainly due to the perfect weather conditions in Florida. This and a more careful adjustment of the engine and damping. If they continue to do a good job, I don`t see why Mad Max can`t break its own record once or twice. Until then, you can check out the quarter-mile Orlando Pass of the fastest legal car on Lutz`s Facebook page. Jeff Lutz has been dancing around the under-6 mark of the second quarter mile for some time. Hot Rod Drag Week in September was particularly stressful for Lutz, who never managed to break the magic barrier despite winning the event. Since November 10, 2016, however, he is finally the proud owner of the new world record of 5.87 seconds at 251.34 miles per hour. And all thanks to its Chevrolet Camaro homologated for the street, nicknamed the Mad Max. In mid-2011, performance data for VXR`s RedVictor3, which is still in production, was released. It uses an 8.8L biturbo engine with 3000 hp at the rear wheel.
Red Victor 3 will still be legal on the road and will use pump-pumped gasoline on the road. [5] This will make it faster than Larry Larson`s 66 Nova, which recently overtook Red Victor 1 as the fastest legal vehicle on the road. It was the fastest and fastest legal car in the world in the 1/4 mile in June 2012, with an elapsed time of 6.59 @ 220 mph. Red Victor 2 is a 1972 Vauxhall Victor built by British mechanic Andy Frost. Frost bought the car in 1981 and began adapting it as a hobby; It was once considered the fastest legal car in the world.[1][2][3] and now has 2,300 horsepower. However, since it is not a production car, it is not officially considered a record holder. With the title of Drag Week King for another year, Jeff and his team set out to establish themselves as the fastest car in the world, a feat they achieved by pushing Mad Max to a crazy 5.85 ET at the World Street Nationals in Orlando last November, placing him at the top of the street hotrod list and adding another item to Lutz`s list of achievements. And if that list wasn`t long enough, he also spent time on the list of the 10 best street outlaws, taking the Camaro on the road for a while, reaching the show`s #5. He has proven time and time again that he knows what it takes to be at the front, even though he has jumped into some of the most competitive categories in the race. Lutz sets himself lofty goals and pursues them relentlessly, pushing himself and his cars to the limit and doing what it takes to get the job done. Jeff Lutz is now the fastest in the world with a time of 5.85 @ 250 mph.[citation needed][6] Andy Frost built the successor to RedVictor2, an evolution of the original car, RedVictor3 is built to compete in the FIA European Championship in Pro Modified, while retaining the legal road status that forms the core philosophy of the racing team. The construction of the updated car is covered here RedVictor3 Construction Diary Two Thousand Fourteen also saw how Lutz began his reign on the grueling week-long Slugfest, which is HotRod Magazine`s drag week.
For those unfamiliar with the drag week format, the cars all have to drive to the track, do as many errands as they want — with at least one, of course — and then drive to the next track and repeat the process the next day. At the end of the week, the participants` aliens are averaged over the 5 days of racing to determine the winner. Each year, cars on the Drag Week course must cover more than 1,000 miles on their own before the competition ends. Lutz, who competed in the highest Unlimited class in his sinister matte black 1957 Chevrolet, showed up for a `14 mission and emerged overall winner with an average of 6.84 seconds and an average speed of 212 MPH. Although Nikola drives a piece of scrap metal, he still manages to survive the heartbreaking experience called “A Road Trip in One” day after day. On the other hand, few things make it move like muscle cars. Especially those from the past golden age, which makes him wonder why he wasn`t born a few decades earlier? Well, at least he had the chance to enjoy the likes of the Pontiak Aztek, Chrysler PT Cruiser, Fiat Multipla and other beautiful millennials, right? When I think about it, I stick to mine. Thank you very much! World record holder for fuel pumping and speed on MT 315 radial 7.67 at 190.4 mph. The quarter-mile world record was broken at Orlando Speedway after all the pieces finally came together for his team.
Jeff Lutz and teammate Scott Murray admitted they missed the vote at Drag Week due to fatigue. Although they competed with the wrong piece, they still managed to win, as mentioned above. They obviously learned from their mistakes and eventually beat Larry Larson`s Chevrolet S10 and its 5.89-second jump to 239.74 mph from 2014. Looking at Lutz`s list of titles and hits, it is not filled with personal bests and event victories, but full of points and world records. Relatively unknown at the time, at least to the general public, Lutz immediately made his influence in the NMCA noticeable by winning the 2013 points championship in Pro Street — the class currently known as Pro Mod under NMCA sanction — in the same Camaro we all know today as Mad Max. At the time, the car wore a yellow livery burning the retina, but basically the same beast Jeff drove in the 3-second zone in Memphis. During the 2014 season, Lutz jumped the Camaro into the shark-infested waters of the NHRA Pro Mod, and Lutz again made his mark by setting the record for turbocharged cars in the class with a low ET of 5.78 to 252 MPH, a mark that would still be competitive in the class today. Over twenty-five years, Lutz and his team have equipped the NMCA Pro Street campaign Camaro – now covered in a matte black livery matching the `57 Chevrolet – with everything needed for the thousand-mile drag week course, but a mechanical failure between Day 1 and Day 2 prevented it from making it to the second leg of the tour. That setback sparked a fire among Lutz`s team to get the job done in 2016, especially after demolishing a 6.05 ET at 251 mph on Day 1, which is still considered the fastest race in drag week history, so they started finding all of the Camaro`s weak points to make sure it was ready to ride when the next route was announced. Winner of the King of Europe 2009. European speed king and record holder ET 7.81 at 188 mph.

After a series of engine iterations, the car is now powered by a Chevrolet 572ci Twin Turbo V8. The car was previously called Red Victor One. [4] The vehicle is powered by a Shell V-Power fuel pump with casting additive. It uses a 9-inch Ford rear connected to a custom 2-speed gearbox from Andy Frost and Penn cars. The front brakes are 290 mm ventilated discs with custom four-pot calipers. At the back, 260 mm ventilated discs with custom pads. All built by Hi-Spec. On this lap, Lutz put everything on the line and destroyed the previous best weekly average of half a second and 20 mph when he turned a weekend average of 6.19 seconds at 240 MPH! That win didn`t come without a little drama after Lutz pounded on the side of the road late at night due to a faulty wheel bearing to get the car running again. He also had to pull the tray and replace some of the main bearings before he could move to one of the stops along the road.
However, Jeff simply struggled with adversity, relying on his expertise to make the repairs and get his groceries, posing a challenge that will be ridiculously hard to beat, even for Lutz himself.
