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

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.

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.
