We will be leaving in about 1hr. We have a bunch of guys going for new bests and some for the first time ever.

CHASED...96 T/A going to better his 10.5@129 pass. The car is a tank and a rather simple 355 H/C and 200 shot. The 60 ft is where the car has issues and we hope to solve that today.

ME : Z06 added heads and a few little things. I hope to go 11.2 or better. The weather looks to be decent. I will always be happy if it runs better

MY DAD : 01 Z... 222 cam, Mac's , 3200 stall and a few little things. full weight last year went 12.00 o 18" Nitto DR's. We now have a 150 shot on the car ...pops is a kid all over again !

and a bunch of others ...

I will update you guys later.... have a great day and enjoy the beautiful weather.

Later

Larry

I was there with my GTP friends in the lane next to you. Why was the red Z06 with the temp plates not showing times?

Tuff..thanks, but we have it handled. The car runs awesome for a heavy 100% street car.

The red Z06 was a friend of a friend and not sure why he didn't show clocks.

I'm not sure if it was the track not hooking well or if I just wasen't heating up the Nitto's enough.
It was a great day for racing though and as always had a great time.

I'll probably be heading to Rt66 in the next coming weeks. Maybe after the NHRA event, track should be nice and sticky then -lol.
