Running NoFlyZone AZ 3/11/2017

Finally running my first "official" 1/2 mile event !!!

90 plus degree weather is in the forecast for Gila Bend this Saturday, so N/A cars will be suffering with power output.

Not withstanding the poor DA and hot air, I'm hoping to be able to sneak her into the low 160's from a standing start in the 1/2 mile.

 

should be a lot of fun !!!!

I actually just signed up for this today.  Had a good time at the one back in October.  Sounds like Roadkill is bringing out one of their cars to this also so it should be interesting.

Final Effort

Victor good luck Saturday, I'm flying back to Ohio Friday or I'd stop out.

Great talking to you and Tom last Saturday at Povillions.

Don't leave us hanging, how'd you run?

Still digesting all the data, but this is what I have so far....

Here's some VBox data, 1 foot dragstrip rollout turned off:

Run at 10:34:53 a.m. local time,...

Omega timers slip show 161.7541 MPH standing 1/2 mile from the cones. (average time between beams 66' apart)

VBox data :

0-60 MPH in 3.79 sec

60-130 MPH in 7.78 sec

Vmax at exactly 2640 feet (1/2 mile) of 161.96 MPH actual

VMax of run 163.02 MPH (beyond 1/2 mile time trap)

Start altitude at start cones 236.25 meters

End altitude at 1/2 cones 235.38 meters

down hill slope of runway running south to north  -0.87 meters difference

 

 

All my runs done on 315/35/17 Hoosier Drag radials, pressure varied between 28 and 20 lbs.

285/30/19 runflats on the front, which gave me some interesting handling symptoms :)

No traction in 1st thru 2nd gear, so I pedaled some runs....others I just tried to let the tire catch up with the car.

 

I've got some really cool data, and a few videos from my Fly360 4K camera...before it came off the car on one of my runs at 150+ MPH !!!

Wow that's really fast!  I heard ZR1s were only in the 150s and you're doing it on motor haha.

I talked to a guy briefly that had a black C6 ZR1 and I think he said he had a 157 from a 40 roll. Joe had a number of his Alpha clients there running in the upper 160's , so there's definitely some competition out there. Running the MPH I did, and the data I pulled and reviewed, my next 1/2 mile event at Gila Bend should yield some good increases :)

That's about right for an auto low 500 rwhp c7. It was in the cooler months too he did that.

It was definitely a good event.  I got 4 runs in, 3 were rolls starting from 30-40.  I got 161, 161, and 163 on those runs.

 

I did try one from a dig from the back against the white cam/nitrous c6 later in the day.  Ended up only getting a 161 on that run though.  Probably a mixture of the heat and poor traction in first coming over the white stripes.

 

The car is an LS3 / A6, v3si A&A kit, long tubes, meth, and a nicd tune- 585 whp.

Sweet !!!! I had a few cars that came up to me that wanted to run (a white ZL1 camaro and an orange C6 Z06) but I didn't see them again later in the day. Me and NachoZ06 went at each other pretty much all day, but I did have one run with Joe in an Alpha car.

 

Seeing what the car did (or didn't do), I've got some ideas on the next 1/2 mile event that might just boost both my 17.68 second ET and my 162.9992 MPH trap :)

I don't know. Joe of CPR went almost 190 I think......and I think a GT-R went in excess of 192.
