Track this Friday... Anyone going to Baytown this weekend? Since Sealy isn't opening up this weekend, this will pretty much be my last weekend before I have to go back to school that I can race. My cousin is coming down from Austin in his 2000 Lightning and Mark (LT1 97 Formula) is going too. Hopefully they have good track prep, but I got a set of BFG drag radials.

I'm driving down to get my car tuned tomorrow and will hopefully be hitting HRP tomorrow night with my new cam. My cousin will be going with his '05 GTO as well.

I went and didn't get to talk to too many LS1 folks. The few I did talk to never mentioned this forum, but you never know. Anyone talk to a skinny kid in a white WS-6 with a cam and open cutouts?

I don't know how long it'll be before I'm out there again. I only go down to Houston to visit my cousin every month or two. It's hard to get him to go out there because he's not into the drag racing thing. I'd do it every weekend if I could!
I'm sorry I missed a lot of you. We got there late, so I was just hot lappin' it to get as many runs in as I could. I'll definitely post up next time I'm going!

What kind of times do you run (with a functional throttle cable, of course), LT197Formula? Your car's putting down pretty similar numbers to mine, so I'm trying to determine how bad of a driver I am.

Havnt ran it with the current setup, hoping for at least 11.7s on et drags maybe get down to a 11.5, on my nittos im not sure if ill be able to get 11s just depends how well i heat them and drive it. My numbers were through a dynojet so yours are higher than mine.

I was rather pleased with how my little bolt on LT1 ran considering how hot and humid it was out that night. Track prep was awesome (so good that I need a 2800+ stall in my car just to get it off the line quicker). Sucks that this will be the last time that I can go to the track before heading back to school in Oklahoma, but least in Oklahoma the quater mile track is only 10 minutes away instead of an hour.
