I will talk with my insurance agent on monday to get you an answer. I need to tell her to drop the coverage on the Camaro and see about a couple cars that I have in mind.

They don't cover it on a track. My father owns an insurance agency and always reminds me that when I go race. Now different companies may be different.

Kind of like the manufacturers voiding warrenty's on new cars when they find out about Drag strips, or AutoX racing.

My specialty car insurance covers track events as long as there is a instructor provided at the event.

Ya went with some buddies with high hp srt neons and with SLICKS the fastest one turned a 12.5@119 and there both cocky *** hell. There like "Travis your running so rich its killing your car, every time you shift 2-3,3-4 black smoke rolls. Your loosing like 60 hp with it not tuned right" Iono im just like you know what with it not tuned and i can run 12.6's all day without every pass popping my hood and twiking on my motor is pretty F n great to me. Sorry little rant but im done haha. But when I get the money i will be calling chad to get this bitch leaned out haha.

Well you got some good mph there, If you need to borrow the mt dr's off my car, lmk and we can put them on for you. Maybe it will help your times a lil bit. I just spin right through them, but they may work for your car since you don't have a ton of tq. like me...

I'd be willing to go to ORP with ya and see what happens.

lmk

Haha funny...I had chad tune the car wednesday right after that track visit and it is a whole different vehicle. I was only getting 91% throttle and it was super lean he said! Ill be going to street legals tuesday again or up to muncie with nate and micheal or who knows maybe both! Im pretty sure Ill see a better slip than that 13.4 especially if I can use nate's DRs for a pass or two, he said I could sometime. Ill keep you updated...
