Another pass for the Yellow Huracan 254.8 mph. ETS is very close. Only a 2-3 mph difference. Wonder if the yellow car has more in it? Made 2 passes both in the 254-255 mph range.

It’s a bummer when you are to the point that everything is working perfectly and all you need is a little more boost but your turbos get altitude sickness :icon_mrgreen:

True that. At sea level there is about 40% more oxygen compared to 9000-10000ft DA

255 for the Drag965 Yellow UR Huracan. Trying to find more boost at this elevation. I heard DA is 9,000 feet.

 

Maybe a compound set-up would benefit at high elevation?

The Drag965 Underground Racing Huracan will take home the fastest speed of event at 259.66. We went head to head with the fastest GTR in the world, same race, same day, to end some of the talk about who would be the fastest if we ran at the same event. We are now 3-0 vs ETS at the 1/2 mile events. Really thankfully for the competition they bring as there is no one else within 20mph of us at these 1/2 mile events besides ETS.

Runs for this car were 244, 249, 250, 254, 255, 257and 259. Ready to run more but they are closing :(

 

The times are over when people claimed lambos can not launch from a dig. The R8 GT and the yellow UR4 were the hardest launching cars of the entire event! On 19 inch street tires. Not even a drag radial. Amazing work!

No they stopped rolling onto the track. They are able to do some pretty crazy launches with these 6 speed sequentials! Even without the dct

 

Looking forward to some “crazy launches” with the DCT ...

 

Coming to a dragstrip near you ...

 

When the standing mile speeds climbed north of 250 ...

 

UGR decided to focus on the 1/2 mile ...

 

Now that the 1/2 mile speeds are about to go north of 260 ...

 

Are we about to see UGR “customer cars” at local dragstrips???

Like I posted on the live feed, the yellow Huracan was gonna kick ETS butt and it did. Congratulations on the record and proving once again who's the king.

I really enjoyed the live stream throughout. Great coverage from various angles (starting line, track, post run interviews with the drivers). Best live coverage of a 1/2 mile racing event thus far. Really appreciated!

 

 

Just amazes me how streetable the car looks as well. No chute, no drag tires, no gutted interior. Basically a true street car with

some monstrous turbos and magic tuning by John Reed. Must be so much work to get all of the shiny billet hardware work together. But it sure did. What a performance and way more to come shortly im sure

This was the biggest thing, for me. The ETS car was fast, no doubt. It barely idled (probably altitude related, but still). It died probably 4-5 times on the live feed. UGR would come up, rip off a pass, and drive back. On the feeds it seemed there was no real drama.
