I still dont really get it.

So the two cars roll....is there a start line, or what determines the actual start of the race ?

And is it a fixed finish line ?

If there is a fixed start line...presumably one car will always have an advantage as the lead car ?

Cheers...get it now.

But it does seem to suggest the lead car could have a good advantage...and no actual monitoring of the 60mph target either ?

Guess it's all a bit of a gamble, but all good fun.

great video!

I've seen the Integra race at the Shift Sector 1/2 mile and it has gone low 180's making around 800hp! That car is well sorted.

Thanks a lot guys! It felt great to take out the top seat in that group. We where having huge issues on the hit all day. The car was bogging HARD on the hit. There was a 2-300 RPM window where it didn't happen and I missed it on the hit against the black GTR. Pretty sure I could have taken that class.. Oh well! Next year it is!

Steve there is a guy with a speedo gun. The cars have to be within half a length of each other. 65mph max. Who ever had the faster speed from previous race gets left lane. Left lane sets pace. Also there is a green light that triggers the run

Also like to point out that I must have made 15-20 passes at 27-29lbs of boost all weekend with little more than a drop of water in the overflow.. The motor took a beating and held up great.
