Default 2 short videos from the 1/2 mile event.

I got out to the shift sector 1/2 mile roll/dig event last week. I put in fresh plugs before the event, and did not figure out till half way through the day why I was running a bit slower. I had the aftercooler touching the spark plug wire where it goes into the coil, and it was shorting out just a bit.

Once I fixed that, I ran a best of 174.55 MPH in the standing half mile, here's the two vids...

Cool video and sounds great as always. I know a couple C6 guys that went there. The airstrip racing looks awesome and need to try it sometime.

Thanks Buddy! When I first hit 200 MPH in the standing mile a few years back, my car was considered kinda fast. At this event, I was certainly faster then many cars out there, but there were cars in the 1200, 1500, and even 2000 HP range!!

I was there mostly having fun and making new contacts, as well as seeing some old. I do have my on line business, although that is not my primary income source...
