For those that asked, it's a half mile total distance. You get a good 1/8+ mile to get up to 60, then you hit a boxed off area with a red/yellow/green light that gives you the go ahead to punch it. The run to the finishline is roughly 1500 feet. I trapped 138 Sunday, and was one of the slower cars there. That's with 555/490. I've already ordered a bigger cam, and have been looking at a Nitrous system. It takes roughly 750 wheel to trap 150, and roughly 1000 wheel to trap 160.

It was a great time, and I hope to do it again next go round!

Johns car is quick! He ran 146 Sunday. My run against him, he trapped 144. His RX-7 is running a LS3 stroker 427. Bad little car for sure.

Were you guys required to have a roll cage. I'm in the 900's so just wondering if there are any rules for stuff like that.

Cruise! What up! No, actually tech inspection wasn't tough at all. No cage is required. It was run what you brung, and a great time for all. We only had 1 car break, and it wasn't anything serious. Some burnt plugs and nothing more.

Yes! it was a blast, you should definitely make it out if you can. Everyone is upping their game, so it'll be a little tighter this next time around I believe. A blower Vette punching 900 wheel won it this time around, I see no reason why it couldn't happen again! I'll be shooting to break into the 150's myself.

Daaaaaamnn and with a curb weight of about 2500 lbs, that makes it quick.
