Pre-registration opened today and is $200 until tomorrow, $250 starting the 18th until all spots are filled, you need to pay in advance, there's no race day registration available.

Super easy to get to from basically anywhere in Arizona. I couldn't run it last year as my car was brand new so now that it's broken in, no excuses. Air/DA probably won't be particularly great, so the earlier you can run the better. It's pretty noob friendly, give them the self-tech and waiver paperwork the day of the race, make sure you have a tow point and approved (Snell) helmet and you're good to go!

@firedude will hopefully be running his Redeye again and I'm trying to get my neighbor to run his Plum Crazy Scat Pack. Historically there's been no shortage of exotics and super/hypercars coming down from Scottsdale/Valley and my friend's cousin might be there with his 1600 AWHP GT-R which would likewise be awesome to watch run...

Very fun event if the weather cooperates. I believe I still hold the record for a Hellcat there. Good luck!! ED168BEC-866F-43B8-AAAF-077F3A2DC8FC.jpeg BA519882-8076-4126-B39E-E47369E707AF.jpeg

Well tomorrow is the big day and I'm about as ready as I'm gonna be, but if @BULL, @Marc W, @2ndAmend or anyone else with LSR experience has anything else they want to add, suggest, recommend, etc. I'm all ears...like Alfred E. Neuman!

Get serious about slowing as soon as you hit the finish line. When you go that fast it can be deceiving. You knock 60-80 mph off and feel like you’re done. You’re not. It’s a short shutdown for those speeds. The end of the asphalt is in sight, you feel like you’ve slowed down and you’re still going 100 mph. Pay attention to that and you’ll be alright. Good luck. 👍🏼

In grade school there was a kid that looked just like him! I mentioned it once and he said, "yeah, I hear that all the time!". Poor kid! :ROFLMAO:

If I remember correctly, this is speed race, do not waste precious distance, get your speed up as fast as possible. The "spinnin' ain't winnin' " doesn't apply here. At the dragway, I often see slow times associated with fast speeds.

Yes, BUTT... Keep you foot flat until you pass the end marker, then hold it for another 1/2 to 1sec. many people anticipate and actually let off early. It is follow through like any sport, golf, tennis, shooting, etc.

I'm pretty dang happy with these runs, especially considering I SWAG'd that 150 MPH would be my top speed, off by less than 7/10ths of a second? I'll take it!

MAD Mopars there, VERY well represented. SRT Autoworks brought out their TRX, complete with drag radials (which looked hilarious). There was a 300 with a HC motor swap and a 3.8 Whipple I believe...? Several Demons, plenty of Scats too. BMWs were one of the other most prolific groups of cars there, along with a gathering of GT-Rs bros. I'm fairly certain the one Ferrari there was an 812 and everyone stopped in their tracks when they heard it screaming down the track. At least 2 Vipers, including an ACR (which I didn't see run) and the other way clearly built and I believe was in the 190s...?


If you haven't been recently the tarmac has been completely repaved so it was fresh and glass smooth. They were running a cleaning crew with a drag up and down it prior to the start of racing and debris was minimal to near non-existent. I was the ONLY car out of 140 (sold out) that taped up my front end (which when asked why I said it was a Dodge and I needed it to hold it together).

The event ran like a Swiss watch; runs every 35-38 seconds, you could have easily made 50-60 passes if you were so inclined. People were tuning, swapping tires, tweaking air pressure, etc. I figured 2 runs in each lane, and with that kind of consistency I called it a day after 4 runs, especially since it started getting hot AF.

The event organizer said he's going to try to get schedule another event for December and I'm all in for that and can see getting 150 MPH out of it with no changes other than the cooler air...

That Plaid was very slow, 1/4 should have been 9.3's.

I looked at the web site, they are going for low $90's now. Add $20k if you want 200mph. Not bad for that stock performance, but I have to think the HC's will hold value much better.

Updated the thread title, true to his word Omega Motorsports secured another date in December and this time they're racing on both Saturday and Sunday, December 16th/17th.

https://www.omegamotorsport.com/copy-of-noflyzone-arizona

I'm hoping to break 150 with a lil cooler weather and better D/A.

In retrospect of my first run I was thinking that between the street drag radials and the Diablosport suspension controller I scored from @Hatermkr for a ridiculously awesome price, I hooked up very well with minimal traction loss. Had it in Track mode and rolled on it and it was consistent AF...

Hope to see even more MOPARs there this next time around!

So please remind me, I'm old, you used the DR's?

If so, what pressure?

My apologies for missing this...last year! :ROFLMAO: I ended up back on this thread because the event is kicking off again...

Anyway I have Voxx 10.5-inch rear repros with M/T ET Street S/S 305/35 R 20 and ran 35 PSI (or whatever the door sticker says) IIRC.

I'm gonna start a new thread for the event next month.

Gonna hope for for decent/better air/DA and fresh gas and break 150 this time. Pre-registration starts on September 14th at $200 for the day, limited slots (I believe it was 150 last time), race day is Saturday, October 19th starting at 10A.

Had a hoot and a half today with a 5.4+ MPH improvement over my previous top speed of 149.3. Only difference was using Boostane to up the octane rating and the weather was significantly cooler, by nearly 25 degrees. Lots of Hellcats, some Demons, SRT Autoworks ran their crazy TRX again, solid representation by the now defunct "brotherhood of muscle"...

That is a model x, not S fwiw. Would still expect it to be in the 9s though - right?
