I might bring my Zo6 out to play if the DA is going to be good...Need to set a new best in my vette. I'll be in a quicksilver '01 but I can't get there until after 9 pm. Hopefully the track will still be hooking when I get there.

My goal is to run a 12.25 @ 115.50 in the Zo6. Got my fingers crossed for a good DA...

I only made two runs, luckily I lined up against two 4th gen Camaros.

First was a black, stock 2002 Camaro SS w/ only drag radials. He ran a 13.1 @ 105.X and I ran 12.53 @ 113.99

Second run (hot lapped it) I ran a white 4th gen Camaro who said he was having probs hooking up, but usualy he was a 12.1/12.2 car. I ran a 12.66 @ 113.59 and he let off with a 14.5 or something.

Temp was showin 70F and felt good outside.

Saw a blue C6Z06 there. Apparently his first time drag racing. Low 12's at 120+ from what I heard.

Cool. I didn't get to see him run, just some guys running a GTO and Fbody telling me what they saw. And those bikes trapping 195 and 191 mph is just nuts
