Default 1/2 Mile Race

I'm taking my stock 991.2 base (Fabspeed X-Pipe) to a 1/2 mile race this weekend. Very much looking forward to see what it runs. I'm thinking if it's a nice cool day and using LC, I should hit somewhere in the mid 130's. I hit 132 between turns 5 and 7 at Sebring, but obviously very different. I wish the AP was out!

I will report back.

LexVan- That's a painfully slow car. How old are you?

Lucky for me, those tracks were always very flat, no elevation change, and all left turns.

It's the wannagofast event at the Jumbolair airport in Ocala Fl. Looks like there is going to be a bunch of 200 mph cars there. Should be a good time.

I'm impressed, that's crazy quick. I'm not too much of a runner but I ran a 60s lap around a track we were playing a flag football game in back in college and it hurt.

So, what was your best time? I'd love to do an event like that.

He looks like he is about 7. I don't see him running that fast around a track. His legs are too short.
