Default Another good day at atco

Went down to atco on saturday, nice cool crisp air da was around -900 not too crowded but alot of nice fast cars. Surprisingly enough track was hooking for me right from the start so got 6 passes in before noon while the air was at its best. Once again was very pleased at how strong the car felt, 11.93@114 nice then 11.85 then 11.82@114.44 new pb by alot....my goal was 11.89 which I thought might be asking for a little too much but .82 was awesome.

After that ran 4 more passes in the 80s and a couple more in the low to mid 90s noticing that the da was falling off a little but I was plenty happy with the whole day, 11 passes all in the 11s! Hung out and ran with some of my f-body buddies and some of the gto vette cars that were running great, i'm sure more pbs for some of them also. Still waiting on some of you other guys to be down there next week hopefully the air will be good! I will go down if the weather is good and catch up with the guys that I missed yesterday, good luck to all!

Yesterday was a very fun day.. Sorry us GTO guys beat up on you a little..


GLad you got traction... After a long season of racing I think my tires took a dump.. Two weeks ago at E-town I couldn't hook and just though it was the track.. I guess not LOL.. I ended up with 9 passes and a best of 11.30 @ 123 blowing the tires off and pulling a 1.57 60'... MPH is there for a 10.9X pass so I look forward to next year.. With a few changes, mainly rim and tires.. Currently I'm running a Weld 15x7in rim with a 26x10 Et Drag... But I think only 8in or so of the tires is being used because of the small rim.. So I'll be trying a wider rim and a 28in tall tire next year
