I picked it up saturday 11 am from Rocksand Racing for the stub to hub. Called Barry and Rick and said let's go to Etown. They were up for it. I had my new ET Streets an wanted and 11 second pass. Run #1 I bogged trying to get used to the tires. Run #2 not so good but at least a 1.8 60' on a 4k launch. Stopped by the scale on the way back and she weighed 3896 with me in it. Run #3 with the 4k launch was productive to say the least.....

Well, at least I have a DSS 1 piece driveshaft being delivered monday. Think the car is trying to tell me she don't like racing? Been fighing me since day 1.

It never ends, but with 3900lbs and sticky tires, something has to give. Hopefully after this DS you will be good to go. Nice vid of EFI BTW.

With me it's the car, with him it's the driving. Nope to answer your question.

Soon as I broke I opened the windows, took off my helmet, smiled and asked "...so which way do you want me to cut it guys?" I hopped over the wall, got my truck/trailer, put er on, and 5 minutes later I had a track burger and fries.

This sh*t don't bother me not a bit.

I've got a DS that looks just like that. hehe.

This sh*t don't bother you a bit, that's the right attitude. Bad day at the track is better than a good day at work anyday.
If she ain't running right or breaks just park her and have a track burger. Nice job!

Sure glad I got this one on video also. You have quite a collection of broken parts videos. Trying to compete with Barry in this catagory aren't you?

This is probably the ONLY competition that Barry quietly bows out.

Yup, quite a collection.

Not really. On the run I bogged I ran a 12.8 at 113. The second run was the 1.8 60' and a 12.3x at 114. Car didn't feel all that great to be honest. Plus, my shifts weren't all that swift b/c of the lane walk I was getting. Not bad but enough to slow ya down a bit. My skinnies weren't ready yet so i mixed the radials and the bias plys.

I'm running radials out back and bias plys up front. No big deal.

Wow second DS this month I have seen like that... Glad I just upgraded the stocker.. How many runs are on the car ?

True story!
Sorry about the breakages Ken but it WILL all come together soon.

I think these are co-trophies....I break everytime you tell me to come out harder. I say 2500. You say 3500. I say 4000. You say 5000.

Then everytime it breaks you say, "....GTOs aren't built for this."

Damn id hang that on my wall in the garage! Your car def has an 11 sec pass in it you just need to get down the track!

If ur gonna do it that's the setup. The front bias plys would cause an mild front walk, if at all, that can be corrected with the steering. Out back, it felt like a pendulum.....not so good to the newbie. Plus, at 114+ the sway was some scary sh*t.

Alot of the GTO guys complain about this. Must be the combo of the high CG and that there's so much weight up front.

yours is the first i've seen (and i've seen a few) that have broken the back half and not the front. it sucks being towed home from the track tho.
