Thanks again to slyrex and summer for hosting an amazing high speed event. This time, they had 0.5, 1.0 and 1.6 Mile traps!! I only got 15 runs in, but that was mainly due to my 3hr in-trailer nap haha. 30 runs would have been easily doable. Zero waiting the entire day!

It was a bit hot and the DA was 5800. My best was 215, with a ton of 213/214 runs. Previous best by me was 224.2 so a bit bummed there. Saw a few of the forum peeps there as usual.

See you guys next year!

1/2 mile and 1 mile trap means they could see their speeds at these points on the track plus when crossing line at 1.6

My average was about 170 at the .5, 199 @ the 1.0, and 214 at the 1.6.

I think my best (last year btw) was 209.6 @ the 1.0 and 224.2 @ the 1.6. maybe 20F cooler. Plus no headwind last year.

It's always a cool event with SkyRex. I didn't have my GT back yet so I didn't get to participate. At last year's event I did 222.2mph at the 1.6 mark on 91 octane pump gas, street tune & 18 lbs boost on 3.4 Whippled Accufab engine. Drove it 400+ miles round trip for the event

Assuming GT, send a pm to Tom (Skyrex) for everything you need to know about this private event.
