2 weeks ago Collin and I were lucky enough to be invited to a very private event hosted by the Texas Speed Syndicate to test a runway for upcoming half mile/roll racing events. We left Austin at 4am and drove the 3.5 hours to Rockport Texas and were a little nervous about the shut down. Collin and I decided to put the car on WG and see what she would do. I was hoping for a 185-190 but...... I was wrong. First pass off the trailer 203. I also didn't realize when they said the two cones I needed to accelerate through are 60 feet apart it was a blink of an eye and went way past them. Luckily the TA brakes stopped the car without an issue (I did pucker a little as I felt my lungs start to come through my chest getting on the brakes as hard as I could at 200+). Second pass we turned it up another 3-4 lbs and went 205. I did notice that runway was a little dusty and you could hear traction control working that pass the entire way. We also saw that time I let off before the second cone
Third pass we shredded the back tires, shut it down and ran a 195 and called it a day. As usual Amar and the TSS crew did a stand up job on organizing an event and we got to collect some good data. I would also like to show this is the second half mile event this car has been to in the same month and has run over 200 every pass that did not have a 195mph limiter on it due to safety regulations, the car also has about 500 street miles on it gt-r hunting and testing. Here is some video! Vipers taking over again!
