Too much fun. Can't wait for the next. Even with issues I had a blast. My ghetto rigged belt/tensioner held up but wouldn't hold boost. Only hit ~16psi compared to 22+. Ohh well, it didn't matter much since traction was an issue most of the day. 2nd was pedaling it, 3rd a little ice skating, 4th was fun. Could have got 40+ runs if I wanted to, but did a lot of spectating, and did 8-9 runs total before heading home a few hours early. Need to fix my oil breather setup as it was spitting oil down the windshield, and fix the belt/tensioner, but other than that drove 80 miles there, raced, drove home. Packed my cooler and all my parts with me. Was raining like crazy so drove out in the morning in the rain, on the drag radials. That was probably the scariest part.
1st few passes kept blowing tires off, so I kept pulling timing out until it hooked better. ~12 degrees and 16psi is where I landed up. Best of the day was a 177.6mph.
AWD cars dominated. Hard to touch the lambos, porcshes, GTRs. They just leap out and keep pulling.

Best part was they allowed passengers, so took people for rides all day long.
Lots of badass cars. TT lambos, 1500awhp 911, Veyrons, Hurracans, MP12cs, 458s, etc.
UGR Lambo did 199mph
DP Lambo did 205mph
1500awhp 911 did 207mph
I may have had the fastest RWD car, not sure. Didn't see anything else RWD really fast. A zr1 was doing low 170s. The 1200+hp camaro was damn fast but ran out of gear since it was a drag car.
It was all over the place. 30 rolls, 40 rolls, some people were punching it early, others later. I raced an Alpha 7 GTR that jumped 2-3 cars before the start line, and I had to run him down. Still probably had 8-9 cars on him before the finish line.
No burn area, water box, or more than quick spin was allowed so that hurt a lot of the RWD cars. My log showed 220kpa max with it falling 210 compared to steady climb to 247kpa I saw on the dyno with the correct belt/tensioner, so it has to be way down on power, then again, like I said, traction was such an issue in 2/3rd I don't think it needed more power.
Need to air down some more and get some softer shocks and get that thing hooking. Easy upper 180s when you get it dialed in. Come out to shift sector in April! Want to see that thing run

Do you know how fast "easy upper 180's" is in a standing half mile? That's 220+ in the standing mile.
I wouldn't go below 20psi on drag radials for long runs at high speeds. I've seen first hand the consequences of trying that.

im aware. I just did 185.7 with a toasted clutch in my last event made 25 passes on my eT street 2s from 10 psi to 15 psi testing stability and drag differences between pressures. Friend of mine was running 275 60 15s out at the same event and was doing 180+ on those aswell Changing some mods and shooting for low 190s at the next event with the car. And have another build in the works right now for 210+ in the standing half. Quite aware of what it takes and what's stable out.
Yah, biggest issue I had all day besides driving out there in the rain was oil cap blowing oil all over. Will get that fixed this week. Need to redo my vent setup. Will take the vented cap off and just weld 2 -10 fittings to the valve covers to a new catchcan.
Uploading more videos now, but they are pretty much more of the same. Raced a 650rwhp mr2 that was pretty damn quick. 2300lbs and 650rwhp with boost by gear/traction control was very quick.
