Yup, those are from the 1/2. As said, my brass ring in the 1/2 is 200 mph. As for the speed differential - fully prepped, sticky 1/4 mile drag venue versus incredibly crappy airport runway surface and no traction management. As a point of reference, Sal Patel (who currently holds the US 1/2 record with his Viper that's run 6's in the 1/4) didn't reach 200 mph on that track that day. Sal had ProEfi working its electronic butt off that day - you can hear it in his videos pull power well past the 1/4.

Where does that leave things? Me being a keyboard crusher at the moment. ha! I'll be sure to post up my runs in the next few months. Good, bad or indifferent.

p.s. I don't have the stones to run the vette in the 1 mile - my car will run far faster than I'm willing to run it. I give mad props to those running the crazy numbers. Heck, others are run 247+ mph is the 1/2 mile these days. The landscape has changed. I will live by my brass ring goals vs. the crazy platinum numbers folks are posting these days. Great fun and times to be a speed enthusiast. Cheers.
