Default Went to NED Rental Yesterday

I ran pretty much what you'd expect me to run for those who know my driving skill level:

best ET 11.6
best mph 128.x
No personal bests there.

60' 1.8x-2.x (mostly 2.x's) all day

well worn 255/16 MT DR's

14 passes...it took me 5 before I got a clean pass

who needs ice? i say dont even slow down and turn the car off, that's when air stops entering the front grille. i would of made the 14 passes non stop so cold air would never stop passing through the motor.

cyborg, i hope you didnt rest between runs...

Good seat time. Appears like my first time at the track with the GTO... 12 passes at a T&T though. I want to hit a rental this year and have missed 3 already. You sure are moving Matt. I hope to be somewhere around there with a new clutch and a little more seat time. What's personal expected goal with more time at the track?

My personal goal is to get in the 10's. I think it would take me slicks, skinneys, maybe hals, & seat time to get there with me driving though. Or just put a good driver in there now and it would probably be close.

Nice...

ET Streets out back and skinnies up front... work damn well.

Maybe we can get the Slowhawk crew together for a T&T or a Friday street night the weekend of the 21st for some seat time and just general fun at the track?

It would be great to do a day w/ the crew. I miss the old American Muscle rentals up at LVD- those were some of my favorite days of the year. And driving up & back in the huge pack of cars is awesome.
