Underground Racing Report post Posted November 18, 2015 We would like to thank all of our clients that showed up to compete at the Wannagofast 1/2 mile event in Sulphur Springs, Texas just outside of Dallas. Day 1 & Day 2 events were won in Justin Herrick’s Underground Racing Twin Turbo Lamborghini Huracan driven by KC Howeth. On day one 234 mph was enough to take the win. Day two was 238.6 mph for the win and set a new half mile world record! Sebastian's Underground Racing Audi R8 set a new R8 half mile record at 235 mph piloted by KC Howeth. Also, the Underground Racing TT Lamborghini Huracan bolt on set a DCT record at 202 mph driven by Kevin Howeth. Below is our video of Justin’s Underground Racing Twin Turbo Huracan terrorizing the event. Click link to watch and hold on tight! More event videos coming soon.

jomama Report post Posted November 18, 2015 congrats! those are ridiculous speeds for a 1/2 mile race! it's one thing to read about what went down at the airstrips, but i can't even begin to imagine what it would feel like to be in one/any of these cars that pull 200+ in the 1/2 mile. Just crazy to think this is on Toyo street tires and not slicks, etc. didn't T1 break the GTR 1/2 mile record running 235mph on R888s? i think it's time to put this argument to sleep. run what you bring, no tears!

jomama Report post Posted November 19, 2015 they also took a lil dirt excursion after that run on the R888's, too... simply saying the R888s provided enough traction to get the T1 to 235, which is faster than any GTR has ever gone in the 1/2, thus nullifying the belief that GTRs can only compete when on drag radials...that's all. whether the car had the ability to stop and/or track straight is an entirely different story.

I think members here (in the past) were talking about GTR's not competing at TI with R888's. In the 1/2 mile the R888 is a better tire than the Drag Radial for the GTR IMO.

Vegasgtr Report post Posted November 19, 2015 Congrats UG! 238.6 is incredible ! Everytime a GTR creeps up on you guys , you pull away. Love how close to the cars are getting in the half mile. Any car that can do anything over 230 is insane. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like u do it every event:) I'm curious how fast was your car going at the quarter mile? Thanks the conspiracy theorist in me thinks that UGR is just playing games with everyone. KC basically said they couldve gone 240. so, to me, they are just taking turns with the customers' cars setting records. Herricks....Helms...Gidi...Herricks again. who's next? seabass? fowler? chess...not checkers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
