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

Fixed, at least back to Seb, but I thought we had confirmed his was a standing start?

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.

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

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.

Yeap, looks like they do it different everywhere.

They don't do it different everywhere. They had to change the racing distance this year for insurance purposes. If you watch NFZ videos from '18 or older it is more than 1/2 mile, all racing in '19 is standing 1/2 mile.

Well, the 170mph run had a highlighter yellow cone marking the start of the half mile. That was a roll.
