Default First time to track with 99 TA

Took my 99 WS6 to the track for the first time last night. Car is stock accept for rear gears were changed to 3.73. I got to make 3 passes, times were run 1)13.56 run 2)13.47 run 3)13.53. I was pretty happy with the results. Had a lot of tire spin but all 3 60' were 2.12 and all 3 runs the car went through the traps at 104mph.

Congratulations. I met you last night at 42. I had the black Z-28 that ran 12.47 @ 113.60. Your times are strong for a pre-01/02 LS1. BTW, we were running into a 10 mph headwind. Get her in the 12's next.
