Default WannaGoFast today Hot springs, VA!

Any ISF going or can come?! I'll be there but in my IS300 (not racing, just spectating). Will take the F to the next one hopefully.
There will be a supercharged RCF there! Excited to see that!
4 hr 1 way trip for me. I should be arriving around 10am. 1/2 mile racing from 9am til 6pm! Hit me up if you can make it!

Well let's see!
*The supercharged RCF beat a V10 Audi R8S with his best run of the day (trapped 141.x mph at the half mile marker)! Audi trapped 142 or 143 but still lost by 2-3 car lengths!
*The supercharged RCF beat a 670hp CTS V as well! Believe the V had traction issues if I'm not mistaking. But there were several CYS V sedans and wagons trapping 170+ mph along with a drag V that trapped 190+ mph at the half mile marker!!
*The supercharged RCF lost to a heavily modded Supra, which trapped 190+ mph on it's best run of the day! Against the RCF it trapped 170ish I believe. .ost definitely the fastest Supra I've ever seen in my life! I'm sure it was 1500hp plus if I had to guess.
*Second fastest car of the day was a twin turbo Lamborghini Gallardo that trapped 224 mph at the half mile point💪! Crazy fast....made every other car seem like they were in slow motion......besides the car with the fastest run of the day....
*A Dodge Viper that trapped 229 mph I believe it was!
Tons of Hellcats out there (stock ones trapping aroun 145-155mph, chargers and challengers), tons of high horsepower Corvettes (Z06s, ZL1 or ZR1 or whatever), most trapping 170s plus. I believe the RCF did take down a new stingray (non Z06). **** ton of mustangs. A new Ford GT trapped 154mph. Saw an Austin Martin trapped around a 150 mph.
Jeez, I could really keep going....just so many high horsepower/fast cars there. VERY fun event and was well worth my trip! I will most definitely be running my ISF at a WannaGoFast event soon!
RCF guy will be posting videos of most, if not all, of his runs. Super cool dude with a TONS of tasteful mods.
Oh yeah, a Ford GT350 blew it's engine and spilled oil all over the runway...caused an almost 2 hr delay For clean up! I believe it was supercharged.

I just watched those videos and I thought the cars were supposed to stay side by side until they pass the cones to make it a fair roll-on? Every race he latched at staging making it an unfair advantage.... Am I wrong here?

No, 99% of the hundreds of races were/are from a dig. If you and your opponent want to do a roll race, the cones are there for you. They only display trap speed and who gets to the finish line first....no times were displayed not recorded.
The tons of Hellcats out there all had pretty high trap speeds 155ish for the mostly stock ones) but were getting usually getting beat off the line quite bad (obviously traction issues).
