PIcs and videos from the Race the Runway RTR 2015 Event !!! - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

5ABI VT · 08-18-2015

Well after a few years of mods and getting the car where I wanted Im happy to finally be driving it and enjoying it for the most part while planning mods when I can fit them in. Still a long way to go and lots of mods/ideas still being planned and brainstormed but just wanted to give a big Thanks to everyone on this forum who has helped over the years since Ive purchased this Z

So last weekend was the annual Race the runway event in Smith Falls Ontario. I was excited as can be but a tiny bit worried about how the car would fare given I do have it set really low and it was a quite a distance away 450-500km to get there. Ive always wanted to setup the Z at the extreme limit of what is streetable and so far Im proud to say shes doing just great. The car was a hit getting quite a few cell phone snaps on the freeway on the way there and back and lots of thumbs ups and people speeding up beside to get second glances

. Had a lot of people come up and talk to me and even met some people there who followed me on instagram and had no idea I was Canadian and would be there. Gotta love instagram it truly makes the world a smaller place ! There were 2 other c4s there surprisingly, one was a burgundy stock zr-1 which was even more surprising ! and the other a modified 89 with a 383.

On to the pics I guess ! Have quite a few more but I can add them later on.

SHot from ViP balcony to one side of the event. Over 5-600 cars there. 300 competing I believe.

The car ran very well. Drove in straight off the highway and were a bit late and they suck me in heat 2 and went for the first pass and got a 12.1 and a trap speed at the .4 mile (not 1/4 mile - was a half mile .5 event but they shortened it to .4 to give extra room for braking) of 218 km/hr.

Second pass was my best.. great launch and knew id be faster but it never registered my e.t My trap speed was 221 km/hr though. faster than the stock and minor bolt on ZL1s, Ferrari f430s, some vipers and porsches among others. There was one hellcat running 221 km/hr as well but a few were 224-226 and modified in the 230s. A lot of people came over asked my mods and were like

lol.

Hopefuly next year I can get my 93 up and running which should run much faster (370ci solid roller) or possibly take the Z back again with maybe a few more mods

Sounds terrific.

BTW, what was the altitude there? Both Paul Workman and myself have run 230kph in the 1/2mile we've had here in Illinois. Pete ran 246 and Al ran 256+ w his 441.

5ABI VT · 08-19-2015

Not too sure on the altitude I'll try googling it. Wind was direct headwind 8-10kph and the run wasn't a full .5 mile but .4 of a mile. They shortened it due to a few cars needing more room to stop.

5ABI VT · 08-19-2015

From what I can google it shows 440ft elevation. Temp was 27' Celsius. I can't believe I didn't wear shorts :/

Nice run and videos.

What mods?

Paul Workman · 08-19-2015

Nice vids! (But I guess I missed the water breaks and the launch over the burm at the end. Doesn't everyone have that? )
