Default Christmas 1/8th Mile Dig Racing

Gathered together some slow daily drivers on super short notice to go have fun. I know we do 99% roll racing so we decided to switch things up this go around! Wish I had some better tires on the Camaro, second gear goes up in smoke!

All cars on street tires (except the Z06) and it was cold as **** that night, was below 40 from the first race to the last. A big power range made for drivers races because of traction issues. Enjoy!

Looks fun but way to cold for any them to really hook for a good launch.

I tried telling him that he has to launch it in first and once he hooks put it in drive but he was just hammering on it in drive and half the time it would shift straight into second off the line and he would be toast.

Its stock he needs to turn advance track all the way off and just put it in drive. Just shutting traction control off leaves advance trac on. It will still cut throttle if it spins. Helped buddy run 12.4@111 bone stock at LR bone stock auto. He was just doing traction control off. Running 12.7@109.

Good old cold dig runs. But that guy in the Gto needs to fix that shifter ASAP.

Good runs. That GTO needs to get that shifter repaired ASAP. What was the Camaro's excuse for that missing gears though? LOL

He's got dat driver mod doe.... Did some more dig runs and he missed some more gears along with his buddy in a 4th gen. I held it down door to door with a "540 whp" h/c/i 5th gen, y'all will have to just wait and see the new video!
