RIPPERTT Report post Posted May 17, 2014 It's over. UGR took 1st, 2nd, 3rd. Congrats UGR!! Winning must be getting old. Awesomesauce!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duhawks Report post Posted May 17, 2014 Really impressive Qtr mile trap speeds on 888s and an unprepped surface. Also they were not really getting aggressive with the power in the first and 2nd gear is my guess. They knew they could out power everything. Going to be really interesting when UGR goes back to the drag strip here shortly.... YIKESSS Nera trapped high 170s on 888s about 3 years ago lol. UGR has been making some power for a long time.

duhawks Report post Posted May 17, 2014 Best run for Heffner today was 212.3. Looking forward to more racing tomorrow. Oh nice. More racing tomorrow? Sounds like there wasn't anything close to the TT Gs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegasgtr Report post Posted May 17, 2014 Did the GTRs just give up? No mention of em in this report and I can't find mention of this event on Life or Heritage... with all due respect ,this event does not seem like anyone knew/Cared about. You can't expect every event for all the big HP gtrs to make a trip. There are a few events UG does not attend. 224 should be the new record of all time! congrats. Hopefully the driver will show us the distance +mph if he had a vbox. PS: not too exciting without competition you lambo guys needs the tank to get you fired up.

The forums are dead, no one is talking crap (which is a lot of fun when people don't get their feelings involved), and there is no one to race. As it looks now the only competition would be Omegahhhhh. I don't think anyone else has a GTR that could try and keep up. PS- UGR's schedule is no secret. They always do TI, tx2k roll race now, and the Houston Half Mile. GTRs are welcome to come. I hope more of them come out to those 3 events.

Would love to see one of these 6 speed X's break into that 7 sec club. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The speeds are done by the same people who do the Texas Mile. there is NO debate on the official speed or distance in this event.

duhawks Report post Posted May 19, 2014 For those that ran this past weekend how much room did you have to stop? Any issues? I have a few half miles coming up and worried about the stopping part. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
2007gallardo Report post Posted May 19, 2014 For those that ran this past weekend how much room did you have to stop? Any issues? I have a few half miles coming up and worried about the stopping part. there is ALOT of space to slow down....no issues whatsoever. At the original Mile location we had 1/2 mile to stop with some dirt overrun area. At 240+ with carbon front brakes that is enough room to stop. At the Beeville location of the mile there is 3600+ feet and that's enough room for any speed you will run in your G. If you don't have carbon brakes get them.

If you don't have carbon brakes get them. Yeah I just have the steel ones. Crap. I do have uograded pads and fluids. The GA half mile runway is 200 ft short of a full mile it looks like. The runway is some nice concrete but it is about 2700 ft above sea level. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambofan35 Report post Posted May 19, 2014 I'd love to see some comparison between carbon and steel brakes at 200mph. In the road race track situation most people switch to steel as they break about the same and steel is cheaper to swap out but I'm not sure when you're slowing from 200mph+ , lol.

That is the thing... we are talking about stopping from over 200 mph lol One company uses spacers for their steel rotors which have tested fine on a race track but what about from 200+ ??

FWIW, at local GT3 sport racing series, a friend of mines reiter engineering gt3 Gallardo runs 390 mm steel Alcons on the front. No fade and stopping as fast as the Ferrari 458I challenge cars with ceramic carbons. I have crash stopped my 390 mm- same as GT3 - on track from 160 mph and very safe and excellent performance with oem feel. Steels don't crack as ceramics can and steels cheaper to replace the discs. If dollars not a problem, then replacing steels with ceramics the ultimate, but then need to redo the Gallardo oem braking system- abs etc. Girodisc steel 380 mm fronts are also reported to be a very good performer and good value. cheers, john Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem like they would even be better for break boosting. The Girodisc are 4lbs lighter a corner over OEM. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody Report post Posted May 19, 2014 Had steels on my 08 SL and now CCBs on my 570, its night a day difference! Yes a good set of steels and CCBs in a race car might brake similar but don't forget about the massive unsprung weight difference between the two. Saying steels don't crack and ceramics due is inaccurate! Ceramic rotors are less resistant to warping, longer life than steel rotors, non corrosive etc. There is a reason why so many manufactures are running CCBs, the Aventador and even the Huracan comes standard with CCBs.

I should have just been patient when I bought the car stock and got that option. Cody your car is bad ass man. Every time Kevin ask me about a mod I just say what does Cody have? Yeah I'll have that.
