Nice run! That's a light car you got there if you haven't done any weight reduction. Very good 60' for non drag radials!

Damn fast sixer!

Is the track closed for good, or just closed for the season?

a LIGHT car at 3417 without a driver?!!?

Thanks. The track was prepped RIGHT. It freakin booked (Subframe connectors helped)

Track is closed for good. George Howard was unable to renew the lease, and all the future races for the year have been moved to Montgomery ( 3 hrs south)

That V6 had the cutout closed, with exhaust running out a stock LS1 Catback...

Damn, nice 60' on street tires. I know a few people who can barely beat that time with Nittos.

The TA's usually weight slightly more than the Z28's, but your car weighs slightly less than mine did before the 12 bolt.

Same here. Your car seems pretty light for a TA, OP. Be glad.

Clutch is in. Also had to replace the passenger axle and pinion bearings. Didn't let go, but it was leaking out of the pinion seal.

Steele is not somewhere I've been, and it is the closest 1/4.

I've heard nasty things about the shutdown area being potholed. I plan on going in March
