Some have seen various videos of me driving a car have seen me drive Tommy's (3gun) car, or Joe's (GNX Guy) car. A few of you might have seen me in a pass from 6 yrs ago on ET Streets I made. Anyhow, not a lot of folks have seen me drive my stock Z06 which has set a couple of the stock ET records for Z06s. This isn't a video of the record pass, but its a few videos showing what a stock Z06 can do (even on 5 year old stock F1's).
Anyhow, when this was shot in 2005 HRP had a rare daylight test and tune day. It was a test and tune in daylight with the clocks on. 99% of the time I run at HRP is Friday "safe street" night which is basically "street race" night, and the scoreboards are off. So, I've never been able to shoot a video where my times actually showed up on the scoreboard
Tommy was down with his car, and we made some passes in his car too. But, in the meantime I decided to make a couple of passes in my car. It had been almost 3 months since I had even cranked the car, and it had been since the Z06fest in BG since I had actually made a pass in the car. My timing was a bit off after having driven Tommy's car so much, but I managed to muddle my way through.
I've had the videos up on my own webspace which is now gone, and I went ahead and recently put some of the videos up on youtube. You can find them under JRodZ06
Anyhow, I have the videos on DVD (thanks to Tommy). I just need to get them off and turn them into a .wmv or .mpg file. The video and sound from his camera is 100x better than this as it was shot from my Sony digital camera. So please excuse the less than optimal quality. Once I get them off, I'll post them there as well
You'll hear the car spin in 1st on almost ever pass. Track prep wasn't all that hot, and I was a bit rusty on my stock tire driving. But all in all I did ok.
IMHO the best video in terms of watching it to see what I'm doing is the 11.92 video. Its shot from behind the car, and you can hear me bring the revs up, and slip the clutch. You can also see a bit of clutch dust on the leave. I barely squeak the tires on the 1-2 shift, and the cars rolling into the water box don't drown out the sound until the very end.

The 11.85 is faster, but the car spins on both gear changes (lane conditions).

The 11.95 is ok, but the sound of cars doing their burnout drowns out almost all the audio after the launch.

The 12.01 I just blew the release (too fast) on the clutch, and bogged the car just a bit on the launch. Otherwise the run is ok...

Anyhow, I guess there has always been some question about how repeatable a sub 12 second run is. These were basically "hot laps" I ran all of these runs basically back to back with almost no cooldown on 6 year old tires.
I have some other videos on there as well.
Here is my stock Z06 running on Et Streets. The car bogs out of the hole even with a 6600 RPM launch. The only way to get the car to run a decent number was to jack up the air pressure and spin the tires a bit, or make more HP.![Happy](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)
