1/2 Mile - NoFlyZone Midwest

[JohnG]

I participated in a 1/2 mile event on Sunday 5/1. This is really the first time I've turned my car lose since installing the Paxton. I started with a 154 mph pass (terrible job shifting on the first go). After that pass, I was 159-162 with a passenger. Without a passenger, I managed a 164 and a 165 mph run.

I'll try to get a few more videos uploaded, but here are 2 I got with my gopro. First time really using my gopro too, so not the best job positioning it.

Here is the 1st run where I shifted like I didn't know what I was doing. My buddy's car is a 2011 with a VMP TVS. He comes into the picture after I hit the rev limiter (whoops), but I start to pull back away from him in 5th.

Here is a race against my buddy's 2014 Viper. I thought I positioned the camera a little better thinking he was going to be right next to me, but that wasn't the case.

Pic of my best slip.

And just some random pics from the event.

Awesome, love seeing the s550 spank on other cars, especially Vettes and Vipers

I'm trying to get someone to send me a video of a race against a Camaro. I'll post when I get it. I raced one Vette, but he wouldn't talk to me at the line and just let it rip right away. I tried to play catch up, but he was pretty fast. Started to reel him in top of 4th and 5th.

Just found this sweet pic someone took from my 1st run.

Here is the race against the Camaro ZL1. My brother recorded this and chopped the video. I'll get the full length one up soon, but you can tell how it ended...

You definitely should! Are you following the event page on Facebook for the one in September? I'm hoping to go a bit faster than last time.

Ha! That was my brother. He originally edited out that part, but I said to give me the original because it makes the video even better! I'm sure the Camaro owner was in shock as I blew past him given the distance he put on me from the start.

Would you mind providing the link to their facebook here please? Awesome man, can't wait to see what you'll run, I'm hoping to hit the same mph as you when I get a chance to go. Unless I'm already running E85 at that time, then maybe a little faster lol.

We should line up! I have cat deletes done now. I'll also be installing RXT clutch and flywheel, opg, crank sprocket, aluminum DS, cold air ,and maybe try to get a high octane tune to run some torco. Should be fun! Left my computer at work amd can't copy Facebook link from phone. If you search "noflyzonemidwest" it should pull up. It's weekend of Sept 17th.

Well, maybe I can copy... http://https://m.facebook.com/events/1756703844559850?acontext=%7B%22ref%22%3A98%2C%22action_history%22%3A%22null%22%7D&aref=98

Haha I'm down man it should be fun. I'm going to be installing a clutch hopefully as well and get tuned for E85 and run the stock pulley. It should be a very fun and close race. We can touch base when the days get closer and thank you for sending the link boss!
