6.98 at 205mph is not enough to take home the GTR68 crown at TX2K26 ⏱️

For the first time in four years, Dave and Wally did not take home hardware in the GTR68 class at TX2K. Coming off two wins in three years, and a second place finish in the other year, Dave looked to keep the Wally train rolling at TX2K26 🚅

The first pass off the trailer was nothing to write home about, but eventually Dave qualified 2nd in class with a 6.98 at 205mph, one of only two cars in the class to qualify with a 6 second pass 6️⃣ Qualified in the top half of the bracket, Dave faced a favorable path back to the top. However, the universe had other plans...

In the first round of eliminations, Wally launched off the line strong, but quickly set a safety trip for low coolant pressure, ending the run early. This safety trip limited power, preventing damage. In a worst case scenario, an extreme coolant event could have resulted in water under the tires at speed 🌊🛞 The run was over before it started, abruptly ending Dave’s TX2K26 run.

After returning to the pits, we found a crack in a coolant reservoir. A minor setback all things considered, Dave and Wally will live to fight another day, back to reclaim the GTR68 title next time around 🏆 With our safety systems in place, catastrophe was avoided and the worst result was a lost race. That’s racing, you can’t win ’em all. Dave and Wally will be back racing later this season, hungry to reclaim the GTR68 crown 👑

⏱️ PB: 6.88 at 213mph
📈 Power: ~2,500whp
📊 Boost level: ~70psi
