Several come from Northern NV. NNCC

Perhaps you misunderstood my comments on the price? I was definitely not saying that you guys shouldn't do it. I was just disappointed for you guys that Shift Sector is charging you that much money for only a 1/2 mile run.

So I went, nothing broke, and fun was had. It was set up as a standing start and traction on my street tires was somewhat of an issue for the first 50-100 feet at least. I tried traction on and off and went down to 25 psi for the rear tires. My best was 136.74
Car is 2016 2SS Auto - Tires are Nitto NT555 G2

I think I could do a little better with drag radials.

I doubt shift sector is trying to turn a huge profit, but it probably costs a few bucks to rent out the airport, insurance, staff, etc, etc.

I didn't make it out there but several buddies did. Seems everyone ran slower this time around. The paint kills the start, if you notice the big HP cars don't hit it until after the paint. I was on the G2's also and was in the 136's mph until i removed my 1LE wing and gained 5 mph for a best of 141.29. It's a cool experience and you get to see some nice cars.

It's only going to get worse when they shut down Sacramento 1320, then we have to go to Redding or the dreaded drive to Sonoma Raceway.
