Yeap, looks like they do it different everywhere.

They don't do it different everywhere. They had to change the racing distance this year for insurance purposes. If you watch NFZ videos from '18 or older it is more than 1/2 mile, all racing in '19 is standing 1/2 mile.

Well, the 170mph run had a highlighter yellow cone marking the start of the half mile. That was a roll.

It was on Instagram, search for uniquemototsports_jorgie.

Either something wrong with my Instagram or jordie’s account, it’s now showing no posts when I visit.

My better half found it for me, I sent a message to Omega Motor Sports asking about the distance. They posted a long letter about it in early spring, how they where no longer allowed to let people run outside the measured 1/2 mile. It was strictly enforced at NFZMidwest this year and I don't see Tony letting people fck up his good thing for a glory run any more.

This is straight from the NFZ guys. All trap speeds are within the measured 1/2.

So the Unique Motorsports boys did beat Seb, then. Alright, will adjust. I'm w/ Spooler, though. It would be nice to have a more organized, uniform method of operation for this. And the flag stand is misleading because it looks like several of them do pace and go from the flag like TX2K roll racing.

Yeap, it is a pain in the butt. It would be great if we all can understand how each one does the track layout to keep all the dang confusion down. I want it to be fair for everyone. I doubt I run the 1/2 mile again. If I do, nobody will know unless you are at the event.

I asked WannaGoFast about the event in Georgia since this was 2 years they haven't done it there. Apparently there were some new laws put in place that cut some locations out for whatever reason, that unfortunately being 1 of them.

I did 151.97 Boosted Performance at Wannagofast. There was a G37 coupe there that did 135. His listed horsepower was 400 so I assume he was supercharged but no idea.

Beat me to it. I was coming back to edit and say I found it. John Hanna. Does anybody know him? My guess is that's the new NA record, so it has been updated as such.

He listed hp as 400 so my guess is that he was supercharged. I'd have to look over on MyG37 to see if anyone knows him though.
