Default c5z 1/2 mile run

Been doing the 1/2 mile events for a couple years. They keep getting better and better. Great time and a bunch of rad cars. Pretty much makes the 1/4 mile stuff obsolete for me anymore. This was NoFlyZoneAZ in Gila Bend. They run the best 1/2 mile events out here on the west side and its not even close IMO.

Didn't really think this would be much of a race, just happened to be who lined up. Think it had a front mount on it though and Im pretty sure they mentioned they'd give me the go even though I didn't get it Maybe I heard wrong.

Went 168 mph on this one. My best MPH so far. 612rwhp/590rwtq on dope. 159mph on motor. Camera didn't shut off after this pass, killed the battery. Put the hurt on a Hellion Turbo'd 5.0 Mustang and then had my soul ripped out by a 202mph Alpha 12 GTR...hahah GTR was unreal. Wish the go-pro had it

If you haven't done one of these...give it a rip one of these days

Wish the video(s) came out better...was having a hard time with the go pro staying in place. Tried to get some of the other cars but was a big fail on my end.
