Default First time 1/2 mile race

Took my 08 Z to Bakersfield for the No Fly Zone 1/2 race on Saturday.
I made 5 runs starting at 40 mph. Best run was 165.8 with my girlfriend in the car.
The slowest was 161 missing 3rd gear.
My car is a H/C Fast 102 intake. I was using Nitto 345 drag radials.
Drove 4 hours from Las Vegas. Car run great.
Amazed how hard it pulls all the way to red line in 4 th.
Saw 1 c7 Z06 running in the low 150’s.
Another was running in the 180’s
A Lamborghini Aventador running 159 160 but he was going full throttle well before the first cones.
Will definitely be doing it again. Had a great time met some nice people.

For the money nothing beats a c6 z06. Love mine and haven’t ran into a worthy competitor yet.

What is your RWHP? Did you do any standing starts, would like to understand for comparison. Thanks.

Yes, those looked to be solid races
Jayfabs......You definitely had Ben on the top end....the roll race was definitely a closer race.
