I raced with Matt @ Mojave a couple of times, loved spanking his Porsche the 1st time, but he had the last laugh the 2nd time with a ZR1, no dash, Really nice guy, good times, true car guy

His commentary made it fun. Sounds like some of us may be back in October.
Save the dates guys. Oct. 12.

October is usually cool(er) and dry. The morning DA would favor some really quick passes, me thinks! Maybe Bob G and Kevin too can join in the fray!

My big milestone would be reaching 150 mph. But, using the power "square law" for velocity, I don't think the mods I have in mind are going to give me 40-50 more hp that it would take to get that high (put me right up there near Pete's motor - ain't gonna happen this year).

However, before the next 1/2 mile WANNAGOFAST event, the CPCC 1/4 mile Corvette Shootout will hopefully come in September - and the ZR-1s and the FBI will be the defending champions again! Do we know how to have fun, OR WHAT??

Here's some further information regarding a controversy on speed and timing.
Could AL have actually had 2 runs identical down to the 10000th" Hmmm.


Hey Peter! Yes, we certainly cannot control the results. I have just spoken with the company and they have assured me the results were not "duplicates" but real speeds recorded separately for each pass. There was actually a pass made in between the GT-R and Viper passes and it did not have the same speed. The Viper and GT-R were extremely close throughout the day so honestly the tie does not surprise me. There is only so many values you can get in a 66ft speed trap so we are now looking at upgrading to a 132ft trap in order to lessen the chance of people running the same speed. At the end of the day everyone had a great time and our speed equipment ran perfectly, which allowed everyone to get tons of passes in

Official Results for class winners should be posted by tomorrow!

if nothing was wrong with their equipment than I do have two identical time slips that exactly to the 10000th.I still don't believe it.
run #3 159.6877 and run #4 159.6877

If they increase the trap length, won't that lower trap speeds?
