Well, not cobalt related, sadly. There were only 100 spots available for this 1/2 mile racing event. My car was actually the only FWD in the field, and on the low end of the HP range.

But, got some good video runs in and wanted to share. The SRT is making around 460whp on a modified Stage 3 setup, fully built motor, e85. With the extra RPM and big tires, it can do 160mph in 4th gear. Enjoy!








Just found this last video. The guy wanted a 40 roll, but accelerated so slow i didn't know what he was doing, until he launched right past me while i slept. Still got him.

 

pretty sweet !!! looks like a ton of fun

 

How many people were butt hurt

 

hahah i bet a lot.

its great how they require a 400whp min. and yet your out there with 460whp making them wish they brought the KY jelly with them

 

Very nice

 

Nice races man.

 

Subd to see the videos later

 

That's so bad ass!! Good kills and I'm sure people were still talking **** on your car afterwards

 

MPH? Seems like it moves well.

 

Car was pretty consistent with best runs of 155.6 and 155.8. Couple 153-154 with late starts or slow shifts to 3rd.

I regret not racing a few more cars there (i was intimidated i admit). There was a stock C7z, a 5th gen Viper, and an Aventador all running mid 150s.

For anyone wondering, the GT500 was a consistent 158mph car.

 

Do you go to 51st at all? I've never seen a blue neon with radials on it, i've on only seen the wingless red one.

 

Indeed i do, but not every weekend. You've never seen this light setup sitting out there on Saturdays?

 

Were you there last weekend? Not this weekend of no fly zone but the weekend before? Does it have a bunch of chrome and lights under the hood? I remember seeing one lit up.

 

Yeah, i was out there that weekend. It definitely has lights in the bay.

 

Pretty kickass

 

nice runs... **** looks fun as hell

 

Bad ass Steve glad the car is back together and running hard!

 

Great kills your srt4 is pretty sweet

 

Added another vid on the end with a 500whp evo.

 

Very cool! Nice work out there. This is my favorite type of racing, so much fun. I need to get back down to AZ again next fall, love it down there. Went to the meet at the Pavillions (I think that's what it was called) and then went down to Tucson and went to some meets and races there. Was a blast!

 

Hell yeah. They already announced that they'll be most likely doing 2 more events this year. Octoberish and Decemberish. Definitely going back again. You should try to make it

 

That would be right around the time that I could come down there too. Last year was December and this year was November. I'd be down there right now with my roommate if I wasn't going to TX2K tomorrow.

 

Thought i'd re-use this thread for some more races. There was another 1/2 mile event last weekend called race wars. I'd been working as quickly as possible to change turbo setups and get it tuned in time. It's not fully tuned, but it's faster than the previous setup.

Their timing setup sucked, so i'm not sure of my top speed through the traps. Probably over 160, though. Got only 2 runs on gopro, but my clutch pivot rod started to break so i stopped my racing for the day.

 

damm that is soo badass!!

 

That looks like so much fun! I love it down there and would love to check out an event like that. Someday.

Car looks like its hauling ass dude!
