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. _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ Last edited by Vangres; 04-30-2015 at 11:19 PM. |

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!

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. |
