Track rental tomorrow - any guesses? 2002 Z28 M6 - Car weighs about 3,500 without me in it and I weigh 160. Put down 408/380 SAE on a dynojet through the 12-bolt. 4.10s and an MN12 6-speed with minor suspension (TA, LCAs). Running Mickey Thompson ET Streets (bias ply 26x10.5x16) and going to do a side by side with my ET Street Radials (275/40/17). There will be stock 17" 5-spoke SS wheels up front for all runs.
This is at Atco, NJ. Weather is supposed to be 56 degrees and cloudy with about 75% humidity.
Let's see who can come the closest.

Well, it got rained out after we drove 3 1/2 hours to get there. We called all the way down and it was supposedly still on, then 20 minutes from the track it started drizzling and soaked everything. We pulled into the parking lot and the guy was waving us off and said it was cancelled, so that sucked big time. We've got a rain date set for the 7th, so a week from Monday hopefully I'll have the results. Keep the guesses coming!

No kidding. It sucks but unfortunately that's the price we pay for wanting to run at a great track in this cold weather, and at a 15 person rental, none the less.
It's scheduled for Monday and the weather forecast is looking great so far: high of 47, only a 10% chance of rain, AM clouds with PM sun and no rain for a couple days before or after. If conditions stay like that and track prep is good, I'm either gonna break something or run some very impressive times for setup.
I am PUMPED for this rental after having the car down the majority of the year and finally getting it running and shifting great.

Results are in. We had some great air and my bests of the day were 11.44 ET, 121.8 trap, and 1.58 60'. 
Made FOUR 11.4 passes and trapped 121 eleven times, so I backed it up. Read ALL the details with a video and timeslips here:

Note: didn't get to do the side by side with the radials because...well, I was lazy and enjoying the bias plies. Perhaps next time.
