Default Going to Englishtown tonight!

Heading out to Englishtown tonight for a some Quick Time Performance Test N Tune
Kyle is going to get some shake down runs before pinks on his 04 Z06 and im going to make a couple of passes on my 08 C6 with the street tires for some fun. Maybe even Ken will make some passes and not break.

Anyone else going? Going to have my own like always. Most likely lane 8 or lane 9. Being the sponsor of wednesday night has its perks

Some people even think they prep the track more when i am there

Hopefully everyone does well. Looking foward to seeing Kyle run in Pinks. I've heard so much about his car but haven't seen him run yet. And Barry, your killing me with the date of the next EFI race The last race gets rained out and this one I'll be in Chicago Figures the one Saturday I'm not around lol!

100 pounds of **** in the car, full tank, 245 general crap tires at street pressure, Matts car seat still in the back, and pushed my car thru tech in my suit. The car ran faster in this weather completely not race ready than before. Then the student beat the teacher not even trying. To say it was a weird night is an understatement.

Break? Bitches nothing old left to break.

Island Kyle?

After playing with the nitrous controller best run was a 11.2 @ 124.. The bottle ran out half way down the track and spun the tires in first bad! Was a good learning day. Was hot as hell!!!!!!!!!!!

I broke my shift **** on run#2. Kyle ran out of n2o. Barrys c6 forgot the track temps were north of 110 degrees & his traps on street tires were unreal. Needless to say, I'll let kyle post up his #s. However, once he got the nitrous controller sorted out, his car launched like a slingshot. Barry & I couldn't beleive it. My Son turned to me and said,"Dad, how come your car didn't do that?" thanks Matt.

What did Barry's C6 trap in this 100 degree air?

119-120. Leaving relatively soft. Lane crew were placing cones so street class would run out of the groove. I was leaving at idle and trapped 115. Not too bad either at all considering.

Felt like i was racing in the desert. Had the AC on in the pits it was so bad. Might have lost 2-3lbs in water weight.
But the vette did trap 119.82mph. Figured the DA to be around 2500ft above

115 out of your GTO is great for that heat soaked track..
Come the fall I see 120 trap speeds

Barrys car did real well too
120 MPH in that hot soup is moving for sure
