Rig is in shop still getting the 2009 car show equip. installed, which usually takes all winter but, may be shorter it looks like. Anyway have been 100mph several times and done 135 based on a GPS device. It is sort of not fair though because I have been looking at this speed for over 2 years as 135 is the texas mile land speed record for suv's. I have had to make sure I can beat that which I have in practice. It has and will take allot of money so I have to be sure. I plan to set a record that will last a while. This 135mph has held up for 2 years. They give you only 2 times a year to reach it. It is a fun deal and I tell the people I represent my Hummer Club as a group. My shot will be in first week of Nov. 09 unless I go to SEMA with H2 in the show. We have a few sponsors lookers but, if they pass then I'm at texas mile for a week tuning etc. and making my practive runs. I want to crush the record so I do not have to dismantle my custom H2 very often to lighten it, upping speed. It is hard to remove most custom int. hand molded fiberglass or gel etc. Then once weight is removed we have to find a way to hold rig on the ground. We have to balance weight for speed. We will put some kind of air dam or valvnca setup to keep wind from getting under rig.

I have asked before but, no one helped to become a part of pit crew. I get 3 people beside me behind wall but, can have as many as I want during practice runs up to Timing day which is actual Sat. and Sun. but, if you have not made time or real close no sense in spending money for Sun.

I would like Forum Buddies to help even if desiging. I need someone to look at the front of H2 and design air dam that would be easy to take off stock front bumper etc. and bolt on air dam for speed tests and time run. We would build it or you could and ship it for final fit and finish. It would be the most crucial effort of all the different work and design. It is easy to make a rig go fast and stop at the end. Getting it to stay on the ground is the hard part. Believe it a 4 ton rig will get air born easier than would think but, moving the air for more speed is even more important.
Thanks to anyone who has the skill and can help with this. We can do it but, have to many things with show season coming etc.

Thanks All,

TAZ

Speaking of 100+ mph club, I came back from FL. today from visiting my mother.

I wasn't driving the H2, I drove my JCW mini cooper. It usually takes between 9 - 9 1/2 hours. I made it in a little over 7.

I made it the entire way and 10 miles away from home I got busted in an area I know is a speed trap. DUH.

Anyway, the cop was nice enough to drop the speed down to only 9 over the limit.

Triple digits indeed....lol.

I logged 103 in the Progressive Trip sence data logger in my h2 before I put on the gobi rack. I called progressive insurance to tell'em I got stuck and disreguard the top speed on that date. My insurance rates still went down so they must of voided it. Gotta remember to unplug that damn thing when I'm on the highway...

That gobi rack and lights feel like it took a good 10MPH off the throttle where 75mph is now.

Progressive Trip sence data logger???

Enlighten us.

its this damn little blue box that pluggs into the odbc connector on your vehicle. Its basically a data logger. Logs date, minutes ignition is on, miles driven, average speed, top speed, how hard you break, and a few other values. You plug it into your pc and upload to progressive every few months. It will reduce your insurance rates up to 15-20%, dependant on your driving style. Supposidly progressive only looks at your top speed, braking, and miles driven. Progressive buys and brands them from someone else. Forget who...I had the origional manufacturer software before my drive died. I could display all the data on the logger....never could get it to delete individual entries tough. The progressive software doesn't really show you anything, it just reads it and uploads it.

That almost sounds like something you would have to add if you had teenage kids.

Either way I would not want it since it sounds a little too much like a Big Brother Black Box type of thing to me.

Yea..I'm not to big on being "monitored"...but it negated the effects of a couple speeding tickets the wife got. Also I live right next door to where I work, so my low mileage helps on the rates also.
