1/2 mile
 

I'm just curious if anyone has run a 1/2 mile yet since I will be doing it this sunday. If so, what was your trap.

Over 9000!!!

But for real... The 1/2 mile?!?

I didn't know people did this.

Is it a special event?

Search for Wanna go fast. They set up air strips around the mid west and atlantic. Also, TX2k is the "major" one where you see some wild high hp cars (2000+ horsepower Lamborghini, and 1500+hp GTR are common sights.)

It's basically "street trim" cars racing for top trap speeds at the 1/2. I'm guessing I'll hit near 160.

Lets us know... but if your NA doubt your hitting 160. You'll probably just be into 6th gear ~130.

He's closer to 500 whp than to N/A

The first frs at 1/2 mile was like 1.5 to 2 years ago at aguadilla...
Was turbo and didn't break the 140.
A GTR with 700 whp could take you to 160 at the 1/2 mile, it's a 10 seconds car.

Pay special attention to safety equipment requirements. Often these longer events will have strict rules due to higher speeds and expensive insurance. Mile events will often require a cage if you exceed 135mph.

Funny story: A local guy here has a Bentley Flying Spur that's been tuned. He took it to a Mile event and was clocked through the speed trap at 178mph... With his BRAKES on! He was immediately kicked out and banned from competing with that car ever again.

N/A? Maybe 160 kph :bellyroll:

No cage needed here. The rules are fairly lax.

Do you know how to read? The guy above you already said he has 500whp, obviously not NA.

Mods are in the signature as well lol

Yeah, I've been lazy about updating my signature:bonk:.

One of these things is not like the others.

So, it looks like the weak point might be the fuel pump. I would start to go lean and lose boost in 5th gear and only fifth gear. I'm already running a dw, but it wasn't enough. I will be doing it again in October with the new fueling solution.

FBM Walbro 485 kit will cure it all...
