I feel bad its not a US based chassis but I'll take it and say 'Merica **** YEA!
Did it with 1/4 of the camshafts, half the pistons, half the valves, and half the turbos.

Awesome! this top speed fued has been going on for a few years now, i can bet it will change to a new winner before the year is up. Thats blistering fast and for a car around the same size as a miata, scary as hell.

That's fast but I thought to be a record it needed to be the avg of runs in both directions.

That is correct if it were to be Guinness Certified. NASA refused to let them make a run in the opposite direction for some reason and Guinness wouldn't show up. I read somewhere in the past day or two (think it was on Jalopnik or Car Throttle) that to qualify as a "production car" in Guinness' eyes, there needs to be 30 vehicles minimum produced each year. Hennessey is only making 29 of these cars.
