Default Side-by-side 8-second Corvettes...Z06 wins

We had our first Pro 8 Shootout on March 18 which is a heads-up drag race series.

In this very exciting final, Paul Ziajski, black 346 cubic inch twin turbo was up against Angelo Valla in the 1972 big block nitrous fed motor. If you watch the boards, the C3 was quicker but lost due to the Z getting out on him at the tree. Great video.

Hole shot. The Z was .046. the C3 was .4 something. you can tell when the Z leaves the line before him. Shame to be so quick and lose on a light. We will see more of these two this year as they battle for the Championship in a 5-race sereies

It's heads up racing... it doesn't matter how long it takes you to get to the other end... the ET is from when you leave the line to when you cross the beams at the 1/4 mile. But in heads up racing the second the green light is on you can leave... the Z06 just waa atleast 0.3 quicker off the line.

BTW: It looked like that Z06 lifted the wheels When a C5 is pulling the wheels you know that susp. is dialed in

Yup the Z did bet the wheels and and good. It is backhalved with work done by Neverlift Racecraft. The C3 has stuggled with getting his entire package to work. This year looks like the car issues are resolved and he can focus on his trees now.

Pauls car is straight to insane. Looks awesome in person! He only lives about 5 mins from me. Everytime I see it i'm drueling haha. Your's looks awesome as well Red! With all these quick Vettes around i'm i'm getting nervous to leave the driveway anymore.

There is a couple pics of Pauls car on my Webshots page if anyone wanted to take a better look.
