Default Me Running My Z06 AT Drag-N-Brag **Video**

Well, took my car out for the first time to the Drag-N-Brag event on Friday at Texas Motor Speedway. Had a pretty good time. This was the first time I have ever ran my car on the juice out of the hole, I usually hit it in second. But this was my third pass of the night, first race I ran all motor then the second race I hit the juice at second.

But on this run (third) I got lined up against my buddy which sucked b/c I knew I was pretty much screwed. He has a TA with a 88mm and a TH400 . I would have videos of my other runs but I forgot to turn on my camera. But here is me getting a bit sketchy........

Thanks guys, yeah everyone out there was just spinning, its kinda that you can't lay down VHT. They won't even let you do a good burn out bc they don't allow you to use line lock or do a big johnny force burn out, so decide it was pointless to just "spin" the tires barely. But should have just sticked with hitting the juice in second but you never know if you don't try.

Seemed like your buddy hooked decent. Good vid, seems like a waste to me if you're heavily modded cause there's little chance at hooking.

That place has got to be the biggest rip off ever. I'll go 30 mins north of that to a real dragstrip so I can run on a prepped surface. That place is just too dangerous

Nice vid man and the car sounds mean as ****. all that wheel spin and no traction makes it pointless to run in this event.

Yeah his car was only building 1-2 lbs of boost out of the hole but once he hit 16lbs (low setting) he was gone.

Yeah its kinda sucks but the past few weeks we been to Denton its been dead and they won't even prep the track so its kinda pointless as well.

The way I see TMS, it's like street racing from a dig, no prep. ****, there's streets out there, street racing spots, that have a **** ton more prep than TMS..lol
