The first trip to the track on my new build yielded a 7.46 @ 92. ***UPDATED*** 11.76@113.5 at Bradenton Motorsports Park. It seem to be pretty perfectly tuned right out of the box. Small changes in jetting and timing did not seem to affect the ET or MPH much at all. So, it must be close.

Here are some times slips form the 1/8 and 1/4 and video from the 1/8:

That is a sweet ride! Congrats on the bottom 7's in the eighth. That should easily be an 11.70 or so. I went 7.33 and it was an 11.51 in the quarter.

I went to Bradenton Motorsports Park today. Brutally hot. I got two runs in before the track went away. When I left the bracket racer next to me measure the track temperature at 135 degrees! Everyone was spinning. But here are the two clean passes I got off first:

I was at sunshine drag strip. I was not so focused at Bradenton yesterday.

Nice going, should get better with colder air coming soon. I can't believe your car weighs less than mine.

You need to bring your Skylark over to PBIR some time so i can see it or next time i am over in Largo to visit my Parents maybe we can go to Tampa Dragway/Sunshine Speedway or The Wing house !

I always liked that track. I have had some great times there. I have only raced there once, but I have spectated many times at major event including the original World's Fastest Street Car Shootout series back in the day.

My 3700lbs would be with me in it and 1/4 tank of gas, that is what I consider race weight. I weigh 190 so that would bring it down to about 3500. TA's are generally heavier than Camaro's too.
