ECTA standing mile event. 7 new records!
With the help of Erik at Back Street Performance in Medina Ohio, we took 7 new records. We now have the top 4 displacement classes in two catagories. C,B,A,AA/GT and C,B,A,AA/GSS. Fastest speed achieved was 179.06. My '02 C5z is full interior with cage, seats, fire supression, safety stuff. Engine makes 450/400 with TEA ported heads and EPS 226. Typical drag times on 200 treadwear RT-615's are 11.80's at 123; so I picked up 56mph over the rest of the mile. If you haven't tried it before, it's a pretty good time. Safety is strict and we're lucky to get in 6 runs per day; but it's worth it to run it all the way out!

Nice results! Don't forget Rick in the other black hardtop, first LS based stock long/shortblock to go over 200mph in any sanctioned race. I just wish I would of had more time in my Pewter crapbox before the event.

I don't have a weatherstation or anything like that, but it was in the 60's if I remember right. Sunny and a bit windy. Side gusts mostly, but we may have been running into the wind a bit too. Joey may have more accurate info.

Yeah I saw you run a 175.xx or 176.xx once while i was in line talking to Rick and some others. Weather Sunday, when racing was going on, was a 12mph West (passenger side) wind at the finish and 8-10NW (tail and pass side) at the starting line. mid 60's temperature and mid 16xx' DA.

Hey Joey, yep I always see your car out there and it's very impressive. Yeah, I'm kind of surprised by how well my car "runs" for only making 450 at the wheels. It's got a nice torque spread though and the gearing is just about perfect I think. My only run on Saturday was the 2nd car of the day and there was a timing problem. I think the rest of my runs were Sunday.
My car is the one on the right. Rick's is on the left.

Anymore info on the car on the left? pics? Looks like it's on a mission.
