Default Made it to the track, happy and disappointed...

Well I only got 2 runs in as a car blew tranny fluid all over the track I guess. Took 4ever to clean up.
Run 1
60' 2.177
1/8 8.65@85.5
1/4 13.16@109.6

Run 2
60' 2.56
1/8 9.38@84
1/4 13.96@108.5

Track prep very good first run. Felt like everything went right. Roughly 1.5 hours later I made run 2. Spun bad outta the hole and must not have shifted quite as well. I was lookin at the viper runnin me. He nabbed me at the end with a 13.4...

Friggin M6's makin it all hard to be consistent. And Im thinkin of swappin out the hotchkis rear springs with the stockers and heater hose mod. Overall not bad for the stock goodyear eagle F1 gs's @ stock pressure. I was psyched I might dip into the 12's tonight. Oh well...

Good Luck next time

Thanks. But luckily I didnt break. It was another car that swerved all over the track spillin tranny fluid. I have the vid of my horrid run. Looked like the car was in slo-mo startin off. Of course my friend didnt realise the only orange camaro there was me on my first run. so didnt get the vid. On a side note the vid I do have it looks like I beat the viper up
