Wouldn't matter if there was a speedo shot because the speedo won't go past 200MPH! This event is official so there is no bull crap involved if you don't believe it the texas mile website will be updated with the times soon. Tommy take a picture of the slip if you have it.

This really is a feat. Consider for a moment that Tommy prepared this car himself, through trial and error...it is not some bolt-on kit. This street legal car with DOT tires is tops among all challengers in every class (including unlimited, experimental, and motorcycle). Some of the competitors are large companies with huge resources. He beat them all; not a team, not a manufacturer...just one guy who has an independent shop. This is what is remarkable to me. Congratulations, Tommy. You are a David among Goliaths. Best of luck with all your future runs.

Congratulations! I don't doubt it was real. I just said the video was boring. Most car mounted videos are boring, though. That isn't your fault, just a fact of life.
