Last weekend I attended slipstream's half-mile invitational event at mid State airport in Phillipsburg Pennsylvania. About 50 other people attended. The event could've sold 300 but was kept small as this was the first try of the event at the airport. There will be a much bigger event in July by slipstream at the airport.

I took my son Victor and together we weigh about 420 pounds. I didn't take any weight out of the car as I figured given that there wasn't much point. Set forth below is an image provided to me by slipstream of the data from all of my runs. I was Car 183. Best trap was 161.4. Best quarter mile ET was 10.5. Also here are some fun pictures from the event of my car:

That looks awesome. Let me know when the next one is scheduled around here. Want to let the McLaren stretch its legs

 

Next runway is July 22-24. Here is a pic of this year's Slipstream schedule:

 

Great pics, it's always worth buying them if the photographer is pretty good and it looks like this one is. The guy at COTA is really good too.

 

Thanks!!

 

great pics!

 

Oh NOOOOOO!!! A front license plate on a TTS at the drag strip; say it ain't so! Probably would have run the 1/4 in the 8s without the plate. Maybe even 7s, with the improved drag coefficient and weight reduction. Take off that plate and make your car faster!

 

Scott, it was great having you and Victor out. It looks like the two of you had a good time and played down some consistent numbers.

For everyone interested, here are many more pictures from the event. I have over 1000 that I need to load to our website over the weekend.

UnFortunately I live in New York where front plates are required and where they gleefully ticket you if you don't have them any chance they get.

 

Thanks! Right back at you!

 

I hear you. So far cops have left me alone but I do keep the plate in my car so I can feign forgetfulness and put it back on the car easily. So far I've been lucky but I also never bring my car into Manhattan; I live on Long Island.

 

I live on Long Island as well. Good luck going to a Captree event without a front plate. Those damn popo pull everyone over without a front plate there. And if you ever get stuck in a cash lane on any of the TBTA Bridges without a front plate that's almost your ticket. My car got one of those when someone else was driving it when I didn't have a front plate.

Are you in DFC or LIEC?

 

I reached out to both, was told they would contact me but never heard back. Now that the weather is nicer I'm going to revisit and see if they're allowing new members. I asked once back in January.

 

Looks like a terrific event. Great pics and organizers did a great job with the timing/data.
