First 1/2 mile results 127 mph Did the 1/2 mile today for the first time.
I got 103 mph in the 1/4 and 127 in the 1/2. They didn't record times just speeds.
Car is basically stock power wise except for a lid and borla exhaust. I was slower than most people there but it was still a lot of fun and now I have another reference point to test after future mods.

I love the half mile events. Way more laid back than the mile or strip.
My brother's stock (down to the run flats) 20k mile corvette ran a best of 133 in November so I'd say you are doing well.
My car didn't run as fast as I expected but it was first time out anywhere besides short bursts on the highway. My traction sucked. I ran 158.98 on this run (starts at 45ish seconds). That old vette is awesome. He runs solid nines with it and makes a lot of events around Houston too (TT BBC).

That was my experience as well, a really laid back cool event wasn't really focused on the completion just more like a casual get together. A lot of the other drivers were pretty friendly and would give me compliments on my car or ask what I had done, etc. You don't really always get that at the regular drag events.
