    Standing 1/2 Mile Runway Event!!!

    Carrabelle Speed Festival March 12th, 2011

    WannaGOFAST.com is proud to present our first event of the New Year the Carrabelle Speed Festival. It will take place at the Carrabelle-Thompson airport in Carrabelle, FL. This event is all about speed! Test your vehicle and driving skills on an open runway. We will be doing standing HALF MILE races all day long!! The best part is that we are allowing head to head competition instead of solo runs like other airstrip events. The theme will be classic grudge match style racing. Hit speeds you only dreamed about on a ¼ mile track in a fun and safe environment!

    Come join us for what is sure to be an exciting day of speed and entertainment! We will have a live DJ spinning tracks all day long and food provided from the Pit Stop Grill!

    Our 2 sponsors for the event are TopSpeed Motorsports of Atlanta, GA and Unique Audio of Destin, FL! TopSpeed Motorsports (http://www.topspeedtuned.com) is one of the premier tuning and performance shops in the nation! Their 911 GT2 just recently won the One Lap of America in 2010 and broke the course record! They will be bringing a couple of their vehicles to take down our runway. One of them being a 1300hp Supra!!

    Unique Audio of Destin (http://www.uniquedestin.com) is a one of a kind customization center for your car or truck! They specialize in audio, security, window tinting and custom wheels and tires. If you can dream it they can create it for you!

    *Check out our website (http://www.wannagofast.com) to register. Be sure to read all of the forms and have your tech sheet filled out prior to entering the gate!

    *This event is limited to 50 cars I can’t emphasize enough that fact that you should pre-register. If you wait until the event date to register it is almost certain that the event will be sold out. For places to stay in the area click the link that says things to do and places to stay in Carrabelle (or visit www.carrabelle.org). If you need a hotel it is recommended that you book it now to make sure there’s availability!

    *Parking is limited for spectators so please carpool if possible!

    If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to call or email us.

    Take care and I hope to see all of you at the event!

    Pretty cool for Florida folks, hope to see some of our heavy hitters in the area there.

    Although the two lane thing could definitely be a safety issue if something went wacky with someone in front of you at that high of a mph.....

    The runway is plenty wide definitely more room than your local drag strip. The actual runway itself is 75ft and it has an add'l 37 ft per side of paved shoulders.

    Sure i am down. you said you will go down there with me and bring your large ball sack so you can drive the car at 200mph speeds? (I don't have the balls to do it LOL)
    Hell i went 154mph in a 1/4 mile and did not even shift in to the 5th gear. i think close to 200mph is possible with a 1/2 mile track without changing gears.
