Hey Andrew, the Et streets are great. Got a 1.76 and I can do better. I was in the staging lanes when the crash happened. I saw the ambulance on the track. What happened to the guy anyone know? Thank God it didnt happen further down the track.

we did a little tweeking to the car befor he went, it was running verry rich, and what not, so we fixed that, and she realy woke up. gaind about 20 rwhp. with tires and a good driver the car should realy move.
then i think the extra weight and the sway bar should come out and see what she can do.

Just got back from SC.

My first time ever racing my camaro (first time ever racing a car at that!) My first run ever was a 15.86 @ 101 with almost a 3 second 60 LOL was smoking half way down the track

I was there friday sat and sunday cuz my father races Top sportsman, Red and black 57 chevy if any of you saw, he ran a 6.83 @ 203.

Anyways, after a few runs I got it down to 14.1 ish and I started talking to a guy who had a 2000 trans am and gave me a few pointers on how to luanch with street tires on. By my last 2 runs sat and through sunday I was in the high 13's. Boy do I have some work on my 60' times :/

My best run of the weekend was: 2.28(ish) 60' 13.82 1/4 @ 104

this was with a completly stock down to the same tires 2002 camaro M6

So, how'd I do on my first weekend out? Any tips?!

thanks!

John Harper was the one who crashed.

What happened was he got on the converter 5 seconds befor his lights even started, somthing broke, tranny fluid everywhere and just cought it in one of his tires and hit the wall.

He was all right and there was no real bad frame damage

Zoxygen, those look just like my first times last year at the Camaro Firebird challange.

The only thing my car had at that time was a K&N, with stock rubber. I went once a month untill Oct. then went every weekend. But, by then it was moded with, cat back, underdrive pully, lid, this that all little stuff. And I knocked off a few sec.

But you can get a pritty good time with your car with more time at the track.
