Default Terrorized a Runway this Weekend!

We had a 1/2 mile event hosted in Ottawa this passed weekend. This is the first real time I've gotten the Z06 out this year. It felt good to get out. We were a group of 67 cars.

I ended up doing 147mph, and had a 1/4 mile of 11.23 on an unprepped track on street tires. I had an amazing day with cars, friends, and my girlfriend.

Enjoy the pictures!

Damn that is totally awesome. Car looks great and the numbers sound like it was a ton of fun! The grey HRE's look excellent on your car. What kind of power are you making? I assume there is a blower under there? Hood looks fantastic too!

Appears that your girlfriend had a blast too

Wish there were an event like that near North Florida!

A whole playlist is embedded. Just in case you want to edit that.

Nice, we used to do that before 9/11. The runway was 13,000' x 300' wide with 1,500' of overrun...you could get some serious street legal speeds.

Very nice pics. I''m curious what rear panel you have? That is exactly what I am looking for and haven't seen anything like that before.

Your car looks amazing. Love the rims! You have now inspired me to change my rims. Damn, I wish I had known about this event. I would've probably taken a drive down to Ottawa.

Fack! I missed out! I was hoping to check it out after work but finished a little to late. My gf called and spoke with one of the organizers who would have let me run if I got there at a certain time...guess I have to wait until next year...sniff, sniff

BTW, nice pics! I heard the Aventador decimated all and won the event!

Looks like a great time

Anymore pics of the blue Camaro parked in front of you with the Trans Am depot build? It might be a different house build but definitely a retro build on a Camaro chassis.

When I first read the title of this post I thought it said "Terrorized a Runaway this Weekend". I was thinking, oh....this could be interesting.

Great pics, thanks for posting!

Thanks man! Nope, no blower here - just a heads & cam stock block LS6.
