2004 N/A Cartek GTO goes Sub 11.5 2004 N/A Cartek GTO goes Sub 11.5 **
Yetserday on my last track day of the year I finally got it all together for three passes below 11.5 .. This was one of my goals for the year that felt like it was slipping away a few weeks ago at E-town when I botched both runs up I had there...
So I want down to Atco ** with a bunch of friends .. There could not have been more than 50 cars there all day so you could get as many runs as you wanted... No wait at all.. I stayed it the staging lanes twice waiting for the car to warm up because nobody was in front of me.. All run were done into a 15 MPH Head wind
First run
12:15
RT-----1.699 LOL
60'-----1.572
330----4.700
1/8----7.290
MPH---95.36
1000---9.545
1/4-----11.453
MPH-----119.19
Got what I wanted and told my wife it was time to drive the 180 miles home.. She was like WHAT.. I was joking though
Second run
12:33 minimal cool down because I was excited
R/T-----1.318
60'------1.559 <--PB
330-----4.683
1/8------7.277
MPH-----95.15
1000-----9.525
1/4------11.432<--PB
MPH-----119.01
PB WOOT WOOT
After the second run the guys at the line looked into my car for a roll bar.. A friend told me that .. Good thing I messed up the 3rd run or I might have been done for the day.
Third run 1:09 1.627---11.952--114.87 woops
Fourth run 1:52 1.702---11.749--118.43
5th run 2:02 1.605---12.426--111.57 Missed 3rd bad and was beat by Goaily
6th run
3:11
R/T-----1.161
60'------1.578
330-----4.702
1/8------7.297
MPH-----95.25
1000----9.557
1/4-----11.465
MPH-----119.18
Ya back below 11.5 WOOT WOOT
7th--3:50--1.843--12.395--94.86 Blew the tires off at the line so I practiced some fast/bad shifting
8th--3:58--1.612--11.661--116.82
9th--4:21--1.606--11.731--116.04
Still trying to get my shifting down and after a year of Drag racing my clutch fluid is shot and giving me some problems ..
All this and my wife drove the car home because I had been up for 31 hours strait doing an overnight at work...

Awesome Ben, simply Awesome! You're catching me a lot faster than I was thinking! Congrats on the new PB's. Next season is going to be a fun one! 10 second GTO's are certainly becoming no longer a rarity... 11's are almost starting to seem slow for a street driven GTO... LoL
