Default Track Pics

We were out at our local track last night, doing some R&D testing of a B&M product, and my friend took these shots of our Z28. It seems to launch pretty even with our full BMR setup. We had a problem with the test, which is being fixed, so we will continue again tomorrow (weather permitting). Then on Saturday this beast will finally get tuned!

Thanks guys! Now if I can just get more air under there.

That grille is a Stulle grille. We painted it black and I modified with a flat plate of aluminum to mount her pink bowtie.

Thanks Coach and Gator.

Coach, I am hoping it will run mid-upper 10s at better altitude. We have a private track rental on the 25th of this month and the DA looks to be very good (for So. CA) ... somewhere under the 1000' level. I am hoping it can run mid 10s at that event.

Where might I purchase a Stulle grille George?

Good luck at the track rental. I also consider under 1000 ft DA pretty good for my area.

Looks great, the car leaves nice and even!

BTW, you should turn off the rear view mirror accessory lamp when you race...
