FNBADAZ06 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 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 !!!!

bumpin96monte Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drewstein Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Wow that's really fast! I heard ZR1s were only in the 150s and you're doing it on motor haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNBADAZ06 Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's about right for an auto low 500 rwhp c7. It was in the cooler months too he did that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumpin96monte Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 https://youtu.be/Xt1TG7zclco 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.

FNBADAZ06 Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FNBADAZ06 Posted March 16, 2017 Author Share Posted March 16, 2017 I don't know. Joe of CPR went almost 190 I think......and I think a GT-R went in excess of 192. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
