Default 1st time to the track, in the 11's!

As the subject line says, this was my first time ever to a track either as a driver or spectator. It was SOOOOOOOOO much fun. I'd say it was the adult equivalent to being a kid and going on a roller coaster ride.

So tell me, how'd me and the ol' C5 do?

I have to bring it back to the shop, was bouncing off the rev limiter in the 2-3 shift. I'm sure that cost me some E/T and MPH...wonder how much though?

Big props to the folks at Island Dragway in NJ...great bunch of friendly staff and racers there.

I have heard every time you hit the rev limiter its costs you a tenth. Congrats on the 11s.

Bigger converter and some drag radials and it would run 11.50's all day.

Congrats !! Put a 4000 yank in your ride, I bet that could have been and 11.5 or better with a good set of DR's.
