Default ****I Drove A Total Of About 700 Miles Round Trip, Ran A New Best And Drove Home****

I went to acto yesterday (12-19-03) for the cartek track rental. I drove my car a total of about 700 miles ON ET STREETS W/ SKINNIES, it ran a 10.345 @ 132.30 on nitrous with a 1.493 60ft time on a 100 shot AND an 11.180 @ 123.79 with a 1.641 60ft N/A, then drove home to massachusetts. Here is a break down of the run:

ON NITROUS 100 SHOT
60'FT-1.493
330-4.297
1/8-6.629
MPH-106.34
990-8.590
1/4-10.345
MPH-132.30

I also ran a couple of 10.6's on a dieing bottle, and also ran a 10.4... I made at least 6 nitrous runs in total.

The car also ran a new N/A best 11.180 @ 123.79. Here is a break down of that run:

N/A
60'FT-1.641
330-4.702
1/8-7.213
MPH-96.79
990-9.298
1/4-11.180
MPH-123.79
****REMEMBER THIS IS WITH STOCK 3.42 GEARS A NITROUS TUNE AND AN M6 TRANNY**** AND STILL RAN AN 11.180 @ 123.79

All in all it was a great day, great to meet everyone and put some faces with the names.

If you dont believe that my times are the truth.....just ask anyone that was there, im sure they will chime in here......

ALSO A BIG THANKS TO CARTEK FOR BUILDING ME A GREAT AND FAST RELIABLE CAR

Congrats Andy! I gotta hand it to you, you had 100% confidence in your Vette to drive all those miles, beat the ver loving **** outta your vette, run a new best, then drive home! You are the man! Way to go on your new best, and that was only a 100 shot. Up that bad boy and you'll be in the 9's!

Congrats to you and Cartek!

You ran some awesome times. You gotta love Atco for running new bests. Hey just imagine what you would run on a 250 shot.. 9.0 range for sure
All that and you drove it there & back to Mass, congrats! Fred

Yea mike, thanks for the props.... It was nice meeting you and the rest of the crew. I made the drive home.....but I took a beating. I had to wake up at 4:30am that mourning to make it to the shop by 9:30am, so that we could all leave for acto toeghter.

If we have a rental again ill be there...... I hope next time your there with your car so I can see some 8sec passes.

Congrads !!!! I watched you make a few passes and I have to say you have 1 bad *** ride there. Plus to drive 700 miles round trip and to click off 10 sec passes like that is awesome.. It was a fun day and the track and looking foward to doing it again soon
