1 Mile run @ Limestone, Maine

Hey all, sorry I couldn't be with you guys on the 25th for either Slowhawk or Jannitty events. I was having a blast in Maine with the 1 mile run event (our version of the Texas mile). There were interesting cars that had best mile runs:
Nissan GTR did 179 mph best run
Corvette ZO6 171 mph best run

I was placed with them in the same category but yeah my car has mods :S
Anyway I was slicing 180+ consistently, I/m sure I could have done better, but it was my 1st time running the car at such speed and didn't have enough time to master the launch on the runway. Best speed trapped was 182.5 mph
Everyone absolutely loved the car from kids to adults they just came up asking me questions about the car and what mods I've done, I know there are many other cars that are more impressive, but wow I wasn't expecting that, even the GTR and ZO6 came to me admiring my ride and I was a bit surprised.

It was a wonderful day and definitively will encourage you guys to go when you have the time and chance, even if it's a non modified car, some people where running a Fiat 500 on the mile.

Did you get booted for that speed? Reading the rules you need a cage and chute for over 175, looks like a 5mph cushion to play with.

Hey Vangress, That's awesome! Are you going to be able to make Jannetty's Drag Race Day at Lebanon Valley, 5/22/15? Matt and I are going and would love to see you there. It's not far from the Mass. border.I recently had JRE do a 650 RWHP build on my car. I can't wait to try it out!

Nope, the officials there are awesome, if I would have ran 190 mph on the mile they wouldn't have said anything.
However there was one guy in a Mercedes S63 that went to 200+ mph at the 1.5 mile mark that was booted due to not following clear instructions about slowing down at the mile mark, nothing more than that.

I will try to make it no promises though.
It really depends on how well I prepare for my finals, but I will do my best to make it.
