Default [VR] WannaGOFAST 1/2 Mile GA '14 - First Corvettes over 200mph!

Phew, what an absolutely incredible weekend of racing with the fantastic WannaGOFAST crew at Heaven's Landing in Georgia. Not one but two of our customer's Corvettes broke the 200-mph barrier in the half-mile, setting them firmly in the record books as the first Corvettes to EVER go 200 in the half.



But, honestly, that was just icing on the cake. All in all we had over 20 different customers racing each day and saw over 3,000 different spectators come through the venue in that same period. Everyone was amped up, everyone was ready to roll, and the cars were on kill from every group... It was just fun to mix it up with the Lambo, GTR, Porsche, and exotic owners all weekend long AND see our friends set new personal bests. Seriously, if it wasn't for our amazing customers, friends, and families, this would have just been another weekend at the strip. But everyone who came out was in it to win it!





Just look at all of the Vengeance Racing personal bests:

Mike Bramati | C6 Z06 | 203mph - FIRST CORVETTE OVER 200MPH
Randy Hunter | C6 Z06 | 201mph - SECOND CORVETTE OVER 200MPH (no nitrous)
Eddie Blackwell | C5 Z06 | 173mph - WANNAGOFAST N/A RECORD HOLDER
Greg Schroll | C6 Z06 | 163mph

---

Mike Jacobs | C6 Z06 | 185mph
Norm McClung | C5 Z06 | 179mph
Wayne Marinello | C6 Grand Sport | 170mph
Brian Landfried | CTSV | 168mph
Wade Martin | C6 Z06 | 167mph
Jeff Thompson | VR tuned Porsche 991 Turbo S | 162mph
Scott Moore | 427 Grand Sport Vert | 161mph
David Dewberry | C6 Z06 | 157mph
Shawn Scott | VRSC690 C7 | 155mph
Randy Hunter | CTS-V | 155mph (no nitrous)
Bart Gadlage | CTS-V Wagon | 151mph
Brandon Fuzi | C6 | 151mph
Tim Holzer | CTS-V1 | 139mph
Bill Schulte | 5th Gen | 138mph
Austin Butler | 5th gen | 137mph
Dave Meyer | C5 Z06 | 136mph
Lidia Dewberry | C6 Z06 | 134mph (first and only ½ mile run in her new car)

That's an average speed of 161 miles an hour across all 21 cars, with 10 cars running above 161! On the top of the pile, were these incredible runs:

Fastest Rear Wheel Drive (Saturday) – Mike "SinisTTer C6" Bramati @203mph
Fastest RWD (Sunday) – Randy Hunter (driver Ron Mowen) @201mph
Fastest N/A (both days) – Eddie Blackwell @174mph
Fastest privateer N/A (Sunday) - Greg Schroll @ 163mph

No sir. No cages in any of the cars aside from a few with harness bars. This is a pure street car event and does not require them.

That's awesome. I have a vert and I'd never seen an event like this before. I've always wanted to do something like this, but was always restricted by not having a cage. I just wish they had an event closer to me.
