Hello to all of my fellow ZR-1 devotees. A friend of mine told me about the half mile drags so I made a visit to the forum and will offer my input on the above question.
I hope I don't break anyone's bubble but a stock ZR-1 is unlikely to exceed 133 MPH in a half mile at 2800 feet. In stock form a ZR-1 will run right at 150 MPH in a mile (2800 ft). Since 2001 we have had only two stock ZR-1's enter the half mile shoot out at the Sandhills Open Road Challenge. The best speed posted was 131 MPH. It looks like the elevation at Monee is only 790 feet. A stock ZR-1 may very well run as fast as 137 there. In 2009 we (SORC) held arm drop grudge half mile drags at the Thedford, Nebraska airport. It was a ball and I highly recommend them. Much better than 1/4 mile. You will smile for days. Good luck to all the ZR-1 pilots.
