What do you expect to run? There is a 1/2 airstrip attack in my home town in April. I've entered and am curious what my stock F80 Comp will run.

Others with the same kind of EV that I have post of 136mph 1/2 mile traps so I’m hoping for something around there.

A part of me is wondering if I should bother, since 136mph should really be a 1/4 mile trap, lol.

Turns out the event date conflicts with an SCCA event at big willow so I’m not as certain if I’ll attend the event I originally posted about

How hard is a 1/2 mile run on your car compared to a track day session? I tend to track my car often but want to try something different. Thoughts?

The front straight at big willow is 1/2mile, so if you ever did wide open throttle down that straight, it’s the same thing, because if you look at vids the 1/2 mile events start from a low roll

Ah that’s not bad then. It’s funny because I never considered how long the front straight was because I’m riding off the adrenaline of exiting the last turn and getting ready for the first turn and it’s braking point

+ 30 mph to your 1/4 trap speed.
