I got invited to participate in a promo video for an upcoming half mile shootout. They invited about 15 cars to participate. It was a blast because we had the whole air strip to ourselves and could have done a dozen runs if I wanted. The best speed I got was 161 mph which was my first run. For reference, the 488 Ferrari got 162mph. Fast speed of the day was a Nissan GTR at 208mph. He was flying. Once they release the video, I'll post it up.

Great job Bill!

Out of curiosity, what are your mods and was that a standing start or rolling start 1/2 mile?

Thanks!

It was a standing start.

The most relevant mod is the Whipple charger. I think I'm going to have it re-tuned and dyno'd. If so, I'll post up the numbers.

Got to get ready for the Arkansas mile!

Took them about a month to get this together and most of footage is of the sponsors' cars, but some good action footage here.
