HAHAH Thanks guys, I ended up winning that bracket race in my 00 C5 coupe. My 12.26 @118 to his 12.28 @ 123.. He definitely was coming at right near the finish line he caught me. Yea my wife was filming the race for us. MY color is Atomic orange, except i wanted them to add more metallic flakes to it to brighten it up.

Pittmann... It was FREAKIN cold! the Event was 4 to 11pm..it was expected to be warm up there that day, but it caught everyonen off gaurd as most didnt bring long shirts or jackets. by 5:30 it had dropped to the mid 50's.....and damn..by 9pm i couldnt even tell, because everyone was sitting in theri cars during the breaks. My 60 fts were in the 1.8 to 1.9 range all day with the nitto 555R's. I couldn't launch anymore aggressive as im guessing master cylinder or it being a stock clutch that contributes to the sloppy shifting after i try to attempt anything decent to heat the tires up and try to launch at anything over 1300 rpms. I was limited to quick burnouts. Even still at the end of each pass, on the turnabout roads i encounted the clutch sticking problem. Im hoping a tick master cylinder will cure that problem.

Here is The last race she filmed to where i got anxious and redlighted against a 9 second 2nd gen camaro for the 2nd place spot and trophy.. i was too jumpy as that thing did wheelies and i was determined to beat him in the brackets.. more people had their bets on me and I let them down on that one. the camaro lost the next round to a 03 ford F-150 pickup that was Stock...lol. I ended up taking home a trophy and $275 for my position.

My buddy Jimbo in Colorado put a 416 in his Z...man it is strong (540/495 roughly). He is in the 10's with 2500+ DA. When cold air hits, he will be in the bottom of tens easy and he has a 342 gear still.
