Default WannaGoFast Clayton GA

Over the weekend, I went to an event called Wannagofast in Clayton GA,
It is run on at a private airfield, mile runway, you get to see how fast you can go in 1/2 mile.

My Z is stock, with Michelin Super Sport front 265/30 19 Rear 305/30 19, except for Nismo Tune sway bars.

I was just interested in what it would do in 1/2 mile.

Best time was 124.4469 miles, it was like a drag strip, but no ET's just speed.

I only just the first 4 gears, taking it to 7500 rpm's and it just ran.

It's the first time I had done this, tire pressure was 36 in front and 31 in back, just kept it there.

It was just fun to see that it like to run.

I am too lazy to look...did you get an entire 1/2 mile run or was it less than a half mile on a 1/2 mile strip?

*Edit: Videos look like a full 1/2 mile. I'm so there.

1 out of 8 just happened to be 20-30mph faster than the rest which were relatively consistent with each other? And just happen to not have a slip for it?

**** I wanna run wannagofast... maybe I can click off a 180!

Regardless, I bet it was a blast! Signed up for my first 1/2 mile airstrip this June and can't wait.

Wow, if you can have 7 or 8 runs it should be fun. In our local 1/2 mile event, we are lucky if we got 3 runs in a day which is boring.

I posted in a different thread before that I got over 130 mile when my car was stock. I shifted into 5th before crossing the finish line. Also got 125 in a different run. Then I stopped going and opted for road courses

Ours is a competition and it is dominated by porsche as all NA 6 Cyl are in one class. So, I will not go if I cannot win and they will not give me enough run to justify all the fees and time I spent. At least I know how fast my car can do the half mile.
