Dallas Performance WINS Unlimited Roll Race at Shift-S3ctor in Cali - 220+MPH
We just got back from a great weekend at the SHIFT-S3CTOR airstrip event in Coalinga, California. What an amazing venue with beautiful mountain views in the background, a huge runway, a big line up of cars and overall great crowd of participants and staff.
The event was structured a little different than the previous events we have been to and was a neat experience. The Shift-S3ctor event was setup to have two parts to the competition, Saturday was designated for open runs / testing and the Trap Speed Trophy Competition.
Al from AutoSource Dallas made as many passes as they would let him in his Stage 3 Dallas Performance TT Gallardo and got faster as the day went on with a best of 202.33MPH. Some great driving dude!
We also brought a brand new RS1 package (1600whp+) Dallas Performance TT Gallardo. Our first pass was a low boost shake down pass and we went 203.X MPH. The car felt awesome, and we had a TON of power left to go. We made a second pass at about 1pm Saturday on a mid boost setting and ran 220.15 MPH setting a new record for the half mile. At this point the Shift-S3ctor officals came over and gave us a stern talking to and reminded us that we were required to have a 4 point roll bar to go over 200 MPH at this event and that we would not be allowed to make any further passes (sorry Ryan and Jason).
Even though we had the fastest MPH of the day on Saturday, since we did not have a roll bar in the car we were disqualified and the Trap Speed trophy was awarded to another very fast car owned and piloted by Stacy Barnett, congrats Stacy on your 215mph pass Saturday.
On Sunday the event was structured to be a Roll Racing Trophy Competition and was broken up by classes based on FWD/RWD/AWD/Naturally Aspirated/BMW/AMG/and Overall. This is a really fun part of the event and we raced anything that wanted to race us. Dallas Performance took home the trophies for the AWD class and also in the Unlimited class Roll Racing Event and we were undefeated in our races.
While we were running the Roll Racing Competition, Stacy and UGR team worked hard Sunday and made several passes and at about 3pm Sunday he did beat our 220mph pass with a 224mph pass. Great job guys.
These cars are getting fast and we look forward to the next event!
Ryan and Jason from Shift-S3ctor you guys held an awesome event, thank you for allowing us to participate and hope to see you again soon.
Huge thanks to customer and friend Al from AutoSource Dallas as well as his better half Myra and the rest of the AutoSource crew, Chris, Ashley, and Jack Wiman, Dale Martin, Alan King, Jonathan. AutoSource transported the cars all the way to Cali and back and everyone was a huge help, thank you. Thanks also to Dale, Joel, and Pepper some of the best photographers on the planet.

Who cares if it's a Lambo? It shows they do good work with proven results.
Taylor,
Have you guys done turbos on a 575M? I'm thinking about making one a mid life crisis car.

probably more like 270mph, if the gearing is there. Pretty badass.

Most cars pick up ~30mph from 1/2 to mile because of the exponential aero increase from what I've seen and you're already covering over a football field a sec! Just like 1/8 to 1/4 a 500whp car or a 1000whp car pick up ~30mph...it's a rule of thumb I understand, but I just don't see this car picking up 50mph and going 270mph. Not taking anything away from it, though...I believe the UGR TT went 250mph in their lambo that went faster in the 1/2 mile as a point of reference.

Comes a lot down to traction. Bit tough putting 1600+whp down in a short distance.
It will go a bit faster than 250mph in the mile IMO. I personally don't have any desire to do it, too much can go wrong at those speeds.
The world record in the 1/2 mile was 217mph, then we beat that with a 220mph pass, then the next day UGR broke it again at 224mph. I would expect the 1/2 mile record to get broken every time these big power AWD cars go out. There is plenty of power left on the table and just comes down to conditions, driving, traction, etc.
I was on 19" street tires, UGR was on a 18" combo FWIW. We will go back with some 18's in the near future.
