Lutz — the person in thematic circles highly respected, and it is no secret that much if he got down to business, then calm down, just reaching the highest results. And this time, Jeff and his team did not hit the dirt face.

In January in Orlando a night race pilots completed figures 6.78 seconds @ 211 mph on the scoreboard. This is faster than the previous record Sal Patel, established in 2012, exactly two tenths of a second. Thus, Jeff staked their next achievement built in his workshop car under his own control was the fastest in the history of the Dodge Viper. It is necessary to mention that we are not talking about fiberglass dregster Class Pro Mod, which are based on a tubular frame and on the car with the stock bearing an iron body.
However, the purpose of the rider was set two records today (he was trying to move them set the bar time to road cars at his 3,000-strong Chevrolet Camaro «69), but, as Jeff said, „we are still a very good job.“
Everything happened just the best. The audience was delighted, because they all knew why we had come to the strip. We set a record in the first full-fledged arrival, having made up of several attempts at training 330 and 660 feet.
