Default 1/2 mile rolling drag race

So who all went to the 1/2 mile drag race even today at Heaven's Landing GA? There were a lot of vettes there. 1/2 dozen newer ZR-1's & Z06's, Couple F1R supercharged Vettes and a couple turbo ones along with NA. Very impressive cars. There even was a C4 ZR-1 Lingenfelter vette that looked like it came right off the show room floor and it kicked butt all day.

I got some pictures and videos but need to download them off my phone to post on here.

This was the best auto event I have been to all year. I really enjoyed this event. I do hope there is another one soon.
I was a spectator and did not run my car, heck I'm glad I didn't because I got to enjoy the event from one end of the track to the other.
Great venue but I wish there were more food, coffee vendors.

Let's do it again....................

No. I was in the silver 07 Z with CCW polished wheels. Car was parked most of the day at the outside of the Vengeance tent. Broke a valve spring on my second run (missed a shift) and had to hang it up for the day. I did get to see you make a few runs. Very impressed with your car. Nice job.

I was there Saturday and had a blast. I have an 02 Z06 Vengeance built Supercharged 427. My top speed was 167.8. May could have been a little better as I was having a boost issue. Not enough!
