Andy's last pass was sick, so was that AMS GTR on the last pass! Those GTR's were gangsta off the line. Yea the owner was acting like a POS with that offroad car he was flying in between the hangars where PEOPLE including KIDS!! Were parked and trying to eat! Really?
I think guys were letting off because of the 2 dips that were there I saw the suspensions on the cars compress and as they'd decompress they'd let off. But I could be wrong.
Here's LastLs1's last run! Sorry Andy iPhone is the best I got lol

Yeah the dip wasn't so bad for me, unfortunately the car I was running was pretty much a stock vette so the dip didn't bother me to much but anyone doing 160 or more probably really compressed its s decent dip about 3/4 of the way down the runway. Funny story about the owner. Where I had my trailer at was 3rd to the last hanger and while I was loading the car up all the rain hit hard as hell so long story short a guy working on his plane to us to come inside because we were soaked and later on he told me and my father the owner of the property crashed his helicopter last year on the right side of the hangers and when we asked why the guy never made a concrete road the guy told us it was that little gravel road he crashed on and instead of fixing it up or scrapping it out the owner said **** it and dug a deep *** hole in the gravel there and buried the damn thing then bought a new one lol must be nice right

There was a dip?!?!?! I didn't have time to notice as I got on the brakes as soon as I got past the yellow cones and I needed every bit of them too. Ran 165mph on 13psi(low boost)

Thanks man, my car was definitely scooting but couldn't run higher boost as I had a few issues that became apparent. My hood almost ripped off. I was catching a pocket of air under that was lifting it about 3" and I didn't want to push my luck and have the thing rip up at the trap and bitch slap me. Best run I had was that c6z06 in the vid. I absolutely walked him bad. He was a cool guy about it though and said good race afterwards. No egos at this event which is refreshing. Well maybe excluding the lambo guys who had to speak louder than anyone else in the pre-staging area about owning a lambo lol. My buddies 335i walked the green lambo hard in the back half.
If I pushed it harder I think I could have gotten in the mid 170's. oh well, next time.

You got a sick ride!! Congrats! We also saw your hood and mention it in the video lol. Glad you noticed the hood situation but how did you notice it? I'm also considering that turbo kit from Straightline lol.

They won't have another 1/2 mile event for a while in chicagoland. They announced this back in December and January the registration went up and was sold out shortly later. It takes alot of planning to get this going, but after the success that was had I'd imagine that they would do it again next year.
