I thought the ZL1 would do a little better than that! Good runs!

It's obvious I am a little rusty. Been a long time since I have been to Mexico.
Hats off to Islander for building a fast car for less.
Hopefully I can get my new **** sorted out and give him a little better run next time.

Thanks for the pull dude! There's a reason why I won't run you from a dig on the street. lol

actually islander admitted elsewhere that the zl1 pretty much always beats him at the track. therefore gt500= worse than a baby seal.

I have no problems admitting that I've only beat Trackman 1 time at the strip.

Anything can happen on the street though.

I haven't been to Castrol yet, and I certainly don't have anything that runs in the realm of your GT500 for ET or MPH!

My goal is to take the Grand Sport for at least one weekend to Castrol on their freshly paved road course and see how much fun I can have with it in it's current setup.

Your GS looks real nice and should put up some decent numbers.

If all goes well, we'll be running the cobro for a shake down or 4 this Friday.

Hoping I can make a few good laps without breaking too much, lol!

What is the name of your local track? I'm sure the cobro will runs some good numbers/times

About 3 right off the hit and then he pretty much stayed there.

I'm 2.5hrs to castrol, that should be a cool event to go and watch. I missed it last year, we'll see about this year.

Trackman's car is no joke....there's a reason why I've only beat him one time at the strip. lol

I probably won't be driving anything "fun" that weekend, but looking forward to seeing the Nitro cars.
