Default Anyone up for Atco Raceway the 16th?

I think from what i can tell their site says they are having a test and tune that day. I believe Corvette vs. the world was cancelled but I could be wrong. Curious if we could get a group or even a couple people to go down for sunday test and tune on the 16th at Atco Raceway. Maybe someone would shed some light on how busy that day can be and what to expect. Just putting a feeler out there. I need to try as much as possible to get the car in the 10's before the end of this year and I think I have the ducks in the row if the clutch will hold. Let me know

Bruce

Maybe, I will be up at TTP for the NJFBOA meet and to dyno the day before, so it will depend on my funds. It would be nice to get a dyno number followed by a new slip with the tune and DR's though

My only issue is you are no faster then that damn 10.99 that you keep boasting in your sig at me all the time Demonicbird!!!!!!!!! YOU ME ATCO PAVEMENT YOU LOSING!!!!!! Lol... J/K
As for the issues this is my test honestly. I've taken the car to the track twice but couldn't get a definite on how the clutch will hold on a actual sticky track. I've been to poorly prepped tracks thus far. We'll see i guess. Willing to drive to get a sticky track and let it all hang out and see what she has to offer.
I'm going to remove the passenger seat, I put the meizere elec pump on and thinking of removing the belt completely for a pass. I also put radials back on the front of the car and i swear it rolls easier with them on.

Leaving around 7am?

I don't think street tires counts as actually running with your car bro. lol

Hope you can make it down there, looks like a good crowd.

I should have my rear suspension sorted by then but i dont think my car would pass tech. Is atco strict when they tech your car? I would be on et streets with out a d/s loop and have a battery in the back that isnt in a sealed box.

I want to make at least a couple 11 second passes before i change the cam.
