Official 1/2mi trap speeds

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.

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.
