I was the other guy!

That was awesome! I was just glad to see that I was still next to him when he got back on all four tires! After that I just watched him pull.

Wasn't your car running some nice times as well? Are you from the B'ham or Atlanta area?

Silver Z, colonel's car is fast, but if I recall correctly, you ran a 10.8x on a 16" tire with a 355 inch LT1, according to your buddy who I happen to be standing by. That was pretty damn impressive. I definately give you the sleeper of the day award. I thought I was looking at a v6 rs with the ground effects and 16 inch wheels. Nice ride!!!!

Damn! Imagine how high it would go if he wasn't racing on an uphill track. LOL!

Question: Did Stephen wash the test dirt off of the Z for this occasion? <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

Thanks for the compliments! My time was 10.78@126.That was the best I have ran! I wanted to try and launch it on the 150 shot next round but the track went away to quick So I just made a motor pass! I live in Mobile,Alabama.

Anyway that track has interesting lanes at the end ! <img src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

I have 2 questions...

1. What does he do to get it to launch so straight, is he running a spool, or a auburn type posi unit. Airbags? Shocks?

2. Why does a 2 step help a NA Car? He already has a brake and a big stall, so the car stalls upto the stall speed, then brake lets go and he goes, why does the 2 step help that situation out?

Awesome looking though, the car is, at least from this perspective perfectly straight.

I'd assume the 2Step will allow your launches to be more consistent.
When you're foot stalling it, depending on the amount of pressure you put on the brake the RPMs may come up or down a few hundred RPM, but with the 2Step you know that you're leaving at exactly the same RPM everytime.
