Participated in a Top Speed Event!
Sorry it took me so long to post this up guys/gals!
Back in January, the 23rd, the Mrs and I headed up to Ocala and took part in a 1/2 mile top speed event put on by WannaGoFast.
I've raced in a few other mile long top speed events, but this was my first 1/2 mile and the first 'event' I've had the 991 in. I was pretty pumped!
The day turned out to be a great day after raining the Friday before and the morning of the race. It cleared up, the sun came out, the airstrip dried off and we were racing!
Temps were in the low to mid 60's. Sunny, and very windy. 20-25+mph gusts.
I ran a total of three times and was fine with this. It was a long day and the staging line was LONG. Was about an hour wait or so between runs. I had to warm it up and bring it up to temp before each run.
My first run I used launch control: I smoked the tires off the line thru 1st and 2nd gear and had to pedal it to get it back in line. NO BS. I have vid to prove it! It was a wild ride that I did not expect. Thought I would just hook and go! Negative ghost rider! LOL
2nd and 3rd runs: sport plus and just punched it when the green light came on.
The car was very, very consistent and has one helluva top end pull. It didn't blow me away with the initial acceleration, however, like I said, the top end was impressive.
Hope this is enjoyable info to some of you here!
