[QUOTE="93 347 Cobra, post: 14910862, member: 7047"] I'm back home and have a free minute finally. If I had to sum it up in one sentence it would be "The most fun you can have with your clothes on". Event was awesome! Met many cool people from many different brands. DA was terrible at 9k+ feet and that was when the temp was in the lower 80s, it was creeping on 90 before I left. My best run of the day was 145.9 on the Pro course with official timers. On the Pro/Am course with no official timers I could run well into 5th with my 3.73s but I have no idea on terminal velocity as I wasn't logging it, I assume the Pro/AM course was a bit longer than the precisely measured 1/2 mile of the Pro Course because I got well into 5th each time. 1st run: got smoked by Huracan from a dig (he wouldn't agree to a roll, can't say I blame him) but I trapped almost identical at 145.9 which was my best of the day. I skated all over the lane in 1st and 2nd on the GYs 2nd run: Immediately after 1st run I ran a C6 ZR1 from a 40 roll and took him by 3mph 141 to 138 and about 2-3 cars. We rolled for a bit until we got side-by-side and nailed it just before the flags for the rolls which explains the lower MPH. 3rd run: Got smoked by a GTR from a dig. It was ugly, 10-15 cars. 4th run: Raced same GTR immediately from a 40 roll got him by 4-5 cars. Cool owner. 5th run: Raced heavily modded ZL1 from a dig. Event staff triggered light while I was still putting on my helmet so he was way gone by the time I launched. Car was cooled off and making great power. Got so out of shape in 2nd had to get out of it entirely to straighten it out, had a passenger, and still ran 145. This run could've been 147-148 with better tires. 6th run: Ran same ZL1 from a 50-roll. He just pulled off and ran away by 6-8 cars. Talked to him afterwards 850 flywheel at sea level. It had at least a big cam and a cage from my initial impression so probably head work and increased boost also. 7th run: Funnest run of the day. Car was heat-soaked and it was hot so I pulled to the Pro Am line. I was hoping to catch this curiously painted ZL1 with a seemingly cocky owner. No such luck but then a beautiful metallic orange Z06 pulled forward to run. I was giving a random teeanger a ride who had asked. Z06 owner wanted to back up to the very edge of the track. We were neck and neck at the start, both spinning. Then my car hooked and I put 2 cars on him. My shifts were lightning quick and I held 2-3 cars until about 140 when he started creeping back on me. We finished the run somewhere north of 155 with him on my back bumper then we shut down. He was cool as hell and we both were grinning ear to ear. He definitely wasn't cammed so I assume no head work either. Intake and tune at most, but then again I was heat-soaked. My 3.73's were moderately whining on the way home and I'll report back this next week how bad the whine is after the car has a chance to sit overnight. If you have a GT500 and you're not running these events you're missing out BIG TIME! [/QUOTE]
