Take a look at this, EAGLE RETURNS & Accidentally Breaks a World Record…
After months off the track, the team’s beloved machine—nicknamed “Eagle”—finally returned to the asphalt. With high tension and excitement running through the shop, the moment of truth arrived: ignition. The roar and rumble signified far more than just a startup—it heralded the beginning of a new chapter.
World-record chaos
In the run that followed, something unexpected happened. The crew watched as the Eagle not only hit its stride, but accidentally broke a world record—a feat none had planned for. Viewers caught the moment on camera: after roughly 330 ft, the car crossed the 200 mph threshold in stunning fashion.
One Reddit commenter put it bluntly:
“I’m thinking Mullet broke an axle. I don’t know why else they would be ‘lookng at an axle.’”
Whether it was mechanical luck or raw power, the result was undeniable: Eagle returned—and made history.
Technical tweaks behind the record
Earlier in the build the team had gone through major changes: tuning the fuel system, adjusting injectors, and optimizing boost. These modifications aimed at reliability—and yet ended up powering the record run by accident. The car’s setup, previously tempered by setbacks and trial runs, finally aligned for one perfect moment.
The emotion behind the machine
From frustration to jubilation, the atmosphere in the shop was electric. What started as “debacle after debacle” turned into pure redemption. The nickname “Eagle” took on new meaning—not just a bird of prey, but a symbol of resurgence. The team’s longtime patience and persistence paid off in one unplanned yet unforgettable moment.
What’s next?
Breaking the record was only the beginning. Now’s the time for reflection, tuning, celebration—and preparation for what comes next. The team will analyze data, tighten the setup, and plan the next runs. With the world record now in sight, the Eagle is ready to soar again.
