Default 236 MPH 1/2 mile. corvette and Rwd record

clicked off a 236.1 mph half mile pass at this most recent Shifts3ctor/Neverlift half mile event. reset the corvette and the RWD halfmile record. been chasing this one for awhile with this build and finally snagged it. same set up the car has been since last season, just getting it really dialed in finally. shooting for upper 240's 250s at the up coming shifts3ctor event at pikes peak CO. Few pics from the event below.

Speedhunters write up on the weekend out aswell

Congratulations on a job very well done. How is the down force on your front end handled? Are you using exhaust gas pressure instead of a splitter?

front end stays down really well with out a splitter, just a sealed front. side exit exhaust. nothing fancy up there

That thing is hauling serious ***. What’s the rear wheel setup? Those frickin tires are HUGE. How did you get those to fit? Mini tubs?

I'm surprised the car is table with those tyres, unless the rear wing helps a lot with that ?

Its a 15x10 Weld RTS in standard c6 z06 fitment. The 325 50 15 Street R fit no problem on the stock fenderwells and fenders. but the 315 60 15 Pro's rubbed very badly, so over this winter i snagged the vengeance racing tubs and 1.5" supervettes rear fenders from Ron to better clearance the 315 pro's
