Dang very nice time. A buddy of mine had a 04 6-spd GTO with longtubes, highflow cats, and a TB, and only could get a 9.0 with stock tires.

Yeah she eases on down the track pretty good. 8.70's spinning were the best i got out of
her before i put the nittos on. So far with the predator and DR's I haven't had any problems
with 05's or 06's.

supposed to meet up at steele. Yeah, hopefully I can squeeze a 12.9xx out of
her before it really starts warming up. Heat soak kills our gto's.

Can you get the same 1/8 mile time at steele, then at baileyton dragstrip. When i went there, my 1/8 mile was worse at steele, i think it might have just been track prep that day maybe.

Well in my corvette, the best i ran in it was a 8.3, and that was at baileyton, but it was running consistent 8.5's when i had it. Only ran it once at steele and ran a 8.5. But it was a auto so it was alrady consistent. But my buddy in his Mach 1 runs consistent 8.6's but at steele his best was a 9.0. When i went there was only like 20 people there if that, so i dont think they really preped the track good. Seems a lot smoother than bailyeton though

Hey Vann, we had a pretty good time at Steele Sunday. I made two passes and kept missing gears, but I did make a pass where I missed 4th and coasted thru the signs at 14.1 @ 88 mph, which might not sound good, but I coasted a LONG way
I was pissed...it was a great run until I missed 4th. Anyway, the track is so much better now it's crazy. Josh kept spinning too much with the vette and couldn't get out of the 13's. Maybe less people will go on Sunday from here on out. It sucked waiting an hour to make one pass.

I ride up to Steele every now and then on Friday night if I'm bored, but I think Josh and Vann have got me talked into going on Sundays now. I like it a lot better. We might ride up there again on Sunday if the weather is nice. Be careful messing with the mustangs up there on Sunday...there are lots of cobras and 10, 11, and 12 second mustangs that show up. Definitely not the typical Friday night 14 sec. mustangs
