320 dreamer ran a 146mph trap in his 996TT P-Car.

 

Hey, I WANNA-GO-FAST too! Too bad I live in Oregon, the land of electric cars and pot smokers. We never have cool events like that out here. Have fun and keep the shiny side up!

 

What is THE speed that people shoot for in the 1/2 mile?

In the mile it seems like anything over 170 is a serious accomplishment and gets people talking.... 200MPH+ and you're a god.

Be safe guys, I hope to make the next event you all go to!

 

320 dreamer hit 150.7mph in 996 tt
e39 m5 hit 149.6mph
fasn8n went 137mph in his estate
chawkins spun through 1st, 2nd and went 143.9mph

GTR went 200mph

 

Very nice!

 

Those new wheels look amazing Craig.. I need to see the photo shoot pics

 

 

Nice meeting you guys today!

 

You too brotha, there were some nasty sleds there yesterday.

 

New wheels are sooooooooooo sick. Need better pics!

 

Pretty cool event. Where was this held?

 

What kit do the GTR have on it? 200 in the 1/2 is impressive.

 

I believe that GTR is built by TSM..Crazy fast

 

nice, thanks for posting. How did a few other types of cars do?

 

Saw some of the pics on FB. Nice runs buddy!

 

vettes were running in the150- 170mph range. gtr went 180 and up. mustangs running 140 mph and supras in the 160's.
120 cars 900 spectators and vendors. this event was superb!! speeds were from 120mph to 190.9 that was the fastest record of the day by a top speed performance gtr. g8 broke along with a bmw and a gtr i think blew a turbo. nobody hurt nobody crashed and we ran until you didnt want to run anymore!! i made 5 passes and could have easily made 15 more if i wanted to. catered lunch for the drivers and the most beautiful place i have ever run at. first class event. vp racing fuels brought a box truck loaded with everything from high octane corn to q16 to 100, 103, 105 unleaded for anybody that wanted race fuel

 

Now that's how to put a race on. Hope to make it down next year.

 

Chawkins, what did the G55 run?

 

Had a blast at this event, I knocked off an M6 (he ran 134.xx to my 135.53)... crossed the line 1.2 seconds ahead of him. Video makes it seem even more dramatic.

As always, a total pleasure to chill with Jason, Tony, and the entire BIP crew. Got to meet FASN8N and see that gorgeous swaggerwagen in action.

As Steve said, the event was first-class and I will certainly be in attendance next year. Worth every penny and every mile driven to get there.

The G55 was trapping mid 120's IIRC... but it smoked everything off the line. That thing is a monster

 

The G55 took out a vette through the 1-2 and a ZR1. The problem for he TQ monsters were off the line performance. It was basically an unprepped landing strip which cattered well to awd vehicles and centrifugal blown cars. The guys with twin screws, eatons and our positive displacement blowers had big traction issues off the line.

My girl had zero traction in 1st and 2nd, but it was epic going sideways out the whole, open headers and Vossen CV7s doing their buzinassss!

 

Confirmed
