Default 1/2 Mile Event - Pic Heavy!

We had our first ‘Race the Runway’ event here in Ottawa this passed weekend. There were 55+ cars that showed up to compete in the half-mile event. Lots of very nice cars showed up. I had a blast, and ended up placing 10th. I was one of two cars in the top ten without a power adder. I will certainly be back next year…even faster

And yes, I had to kill yet another golfer to acquire these horrid shorts

1. | 258 | 11.27 | 997 Porsche Turbo: 800hp+
2. | 254 | 12.00 | ’01 Z06 1000hp(MotleyDrew)
3. | 251 | 10.48 | GTR: Switzer P800
3. | 251 | 11.36 | Katech C6 Z06: 500ci +
5. | 246 | 11.69 | Ford GT: Whipple, exhaust etc.
6. | 239 | 12.26 | CTS-V: Pulley etc. 800HP
6. | 239 | 12.19 | C6 ZR1
8. | 238 | 12.32 | ’02 Z06: 402ci + Blower
8. | 238 | 11.05 | GTR: Switzer P600
10. | 233 | 12.14 | ’02 Z06: 346ci N/A 481RWHP




























































This means war…

Thanks for the Pantera pics. That black one looks insane.
I'd like to find an event like that down here.

Looks like an insanely fun event. Amazing cars and great photography!

Love the license plate too. Made me lol

Can you share your what tire sizes (and model) you're running front and back please?

Thanks!

Jealous. You car did well - I feel like your car has more potential with a better launch / tires.

I want to do this really bad now My car isn't too far different from what you've got going on.
