I'm heading to the track later on tonight. Took another 1/4 coil off of the rear, it's sitting real nice now. Got about 6-7lbs out of it, and the weather is looking real good. Supposed to drop into the low 50's high 40's later tonight. Should see some better DA than what I made the 10.15 pass on.

Drove all the way there, and there are 15 of us sitting at the gate, lol. They decided to update their website at 5:00pm to say they are cancelled. It drizzled for an honest 5 mins on my way there about 6 or 7 miles out, not a drop on the way home. It was 56 degrees when I rolled up to the track. Oh well, hopefully next Friday I get some better luck.

Congrats brother! That thing is moving out. You should get that 9 at Cecil. It's a fast track.

This thread is motivating me to walk out to the shop and work on my LT1.

It was from the same day. I only saw 2 other LT1 cars there. A red SS that broke on the starting line and a green Z28 with some funky wing.

You weren't the only one that dropped **** on the track, the plastic cover for the pressure gauge on my oil accumulator came off on the big end.

That's different. You have race car and it is to be expected sometimes. Street cars, not so much.
