LVD this Saturday....
If the weather holds out and I can get of working on my house... I may try to go get a run or 2 in before musclepalloza, be nice to see what the car is capable of before then. Have to see tho.. not sure if the e.t. streets will have enough left for 2 trips, especially if I get lucky and start going rounds at hemmings day.
I might try to make it out there too, but make sure you get there early, I drove two hours last weekend to find out they were shutting down unannounced at 3 (instead of 5). Just so happened that I got there at 3 (couldn't get out of school any earlier). I was kinda pissed.

Still no 2-3 shift at WOT in my Formula, so I might make a couple passes with the Lemans to see. I'd be shocked to see high 13's.
With a 2.75 gear and 28" tires it's kind of a slug out of the hole
Feels strong with the new heads/cam/intake/carb/MSD though!

id go on the 21st, but i want to wait til i get my stall,trans cooler and shift kit in and maybe a tune before i run it at the track again. i wasnt none too happy with my crappy 13.5 at 104 on the 29th. i couldnt get the damn car out of the hole, stupid stock converter
If I don't go tomorrow.. prety sure I won't get there until Hemming's day unless I bail out of work Early next wednesday and go then. Hmmm, is there any goofy rules for street night I don't know about? Dot tires right? ( e.t. street should still be o.k. I hope )

Memorial day weekend. Please do come! There was about 3 4th gen cars there last year... myself and one other ls1 f body car, one lt1 car, and 2 ls1 vettes, one z06, beat me out the 3rd round ( bracket racing.. and I'm no bracket racer ) We need more ls1 peep's at this show... let all the old school boys know where it's at.

ok, I'm definately going to the TnT tomorrow. Found out that I don't have anything to do in the morning so I can leave early enough to make it worth my while, haha. I figure if it rains then oh well, if not I'll get a chance to get some good runs in.
I'm in the loud black TA, I hope to run into a couple of ya'll (I'll be looking for SOM and pewter cars)

Here's my best slip from today...
R/T - .603 (I try to keep just above .5 because that's redlighting at some tracks)
60' - 2.128
330 - 5.684
1/8 - 8.530
MPH - 86.69
1000 - 10.958
1/4 - 13.004
MPH - 110.24
Any suggestions on how to get that damn 60' down?

Very nice. Strong mph. LVD is tough to get good 60's with their notoriously poor track prep, unless they have some big boys running--that's just the way it's been there forever...You probably would be 12.80's at NED... Your rear tires are??? Best wishes. I probably should not have listened to the weather weiner and made the trip up..

WJ WJ, you DEFINATELY should have come! We had a rain scare for about 10 minutes (light sprinkling), then about 30 more minutes of waiting for the track re-prep, then the sun came out and it as beautiful! Not awesome for racing, but it was nice for standing around in the staging lanes, haha. Anyone know where to look up DA?
Oh, I weighed my car there too... 3695lbs with me!!! Christine needs a DIET!
Tires are Bridgestone Fuzions (I needed tires real bad and got a killer deal on them last June. I've actually been really pleased with them!)
