Have fun T! I'm going racing for only the 2nd weekend this year, so I understand the "pumped" feeling. Good luck and hold on!

If the weather holds I'll be doing some 6 k dumps with the Z06 on Sunday.

Might even spray a 150 shot on my last pass for a glory run before I get booted for not having a rollbar.

pffft, rollers. i spent 3 hours trouble shooting, found a burnt wire...doh! thne made 12 pulls in 2 hours trying to get the AFR nice and straight! i gotta thank Nick and Pete at Atuoworx! i was on the dyno for a good 7 hours! i didn't get to finish it up, so i did a bit more tuning yesterday.... a little cleaner and crisper! i will let the et's speak for themselves, hold on it will be mph this weekend, it is the beginning of the yar and i am going to st.thomas! traction is hit and miss there!!! but i am bringing some VHT! lol!!!

the track is my dyno....the rollers are merely a tool

CAT3,

you are right, but it feels like the first time after 6 months of not racing!! the anticipation is killing me! i had to make sure i could still shift last night...... no f'n problems there! then hopefully if the weather holds bottle goes back in the car for the following weekend

Joe,

i am gona call you tomorrow, got a couple of more questions.
