Official 1/2mi trap speeds

That is not where the half mile starts for them. It starts at the orange cone looking things or flags? It would be nice
for someone to find out where their 1/2 mile starts.

Here's a video of Tony's (Fast Intentions) run. It's hard to tell if the run starts from a stand still or the flags. I had specifically asked Seb though and he told me it was a standing start.

I am good with Seb's mph standing. The 170mph one is rolling for sure.

The only way for it to be fair, in all reality, is to go run at the same event as them. All of the 1/2 mile event folks do it a little differently.

If you were spinning through fifth then that track is crap. Too much dust/dirt.

That's a long ways to go. LOL All of these are standing starts. The issue is where does the 1/2 mile actually begin. Wannagofast the 1/2 mile starts at the beam you line up on. Shiftsector and NoflyZone are questionable. It would make it so much easier if they all did it the same.

NFZ only races 1/2 mile now. In years past they didn't. Due to insurance all racing is done in the measured 1/2 now.

The question is where does the 1/2 mile start????

-ZS-Carpenter

they line up 1/2 mile from the speed trap. It is a standing half

Just saw the video too. I agree, it’s very questionable. The way the cars are lined up didn’t seem accurate, and I would assume because it was in essence a rolling start with 1/2 mile marker where the cones were.

The website isn’t very specific either, it mixes drag and roll racing in there same sentence.

Would love to see all the Z’s just do the same event lol.

Here is freshhkiicks doing an event. Not sure which one it is. Maybe you guys that know the area can answer. At 7:32 he lines up at the cones for a standing half mile run. All the other runs were rolling 1/2 mile. He did a 167.28mph.

Watched videos of another NFZ event and it seemed to be a real standing start 1/2 mile tho. Confused.

Ah I never actually watched the full video. But now it’s clear. Lol, it’s a “standing start” but it’s a little more than 1/2 mile, 1-2 gears with of extra distance.

Just compare 7:00 mark and 7:32 mark, it’s clear as day rolling start vs standing start.

I can't find Tony's statement from last spring that explains the change but NFZ in past years had a 400ish ft of pacing before the measured 1/2 mile. They would also let you make glory runs from the very end of the runway if you wanted. But everything in 2019 is standing 1/2mile.
