sorry was exhausted last night when posted that...and no both are 60' time were horrible...
race 1 i ran a 13.762 at 101.72mph, 60' time 2.073 to the SS's 14.034 at 98.19mph 60' 2.118
race 2 was won at the light i had a .318 R/T a 2.234 60' ran a 14.033 at 100.33mph he had a .558 R/T 2.223 60' ran a 13.906 at 100.39 but couldnt catch me and i won by about a half a car...
yes the 60'time for me are horrible on a DR couldnt stop the tires from spining out of the box, mostly due to my inexperience at the track. It was all for fun got some great pratice in...

Thank-you for posting the results & congratulations on your victory. No, you didn't cheat. If he even mentions the practice no practice excuse, I'm taking his LS1 card away. Well done.
Sucks for slowvette, I hope everything works out.

yea he came back to the car, and he was definitely drunk. There was a middle aged couple who witnessed it all, he just so happens to be a cop for north miami. i have all of the guys info, if i ever need him to testify for anything or for insurance purposes.

, what would u have done in my situation?Good races...where are you, because those trap speeds and ET's for the SS look like Las Vegas where the DA is 4000' most times. I used to run there and best was 13.81@ 103, but had friends with stock SS's that ran 13.9x-14.1@99-102. The air mods and suspension mods really help there though. 01 SS ran 13.2@108 with SLP flow pack and LCA's.

Hey cool, a South FL group! is Moroso the closest track to Miami? I've never been to a track before but I might be buying a 98 Trans Am soon and I might want to run it for kicks.

congrats on the win, but just remember this: you beat the driver not the car!! I have seen toooo many auto LS1's in the low low 13's stock. So tell your friend to practice launching and then go back to the track, cause 13.7xx should not beat an LS1. My 6 speed 2001 ran 13.3@106 stock, now I'm modded a little, wanna race??
j/k bro, good runs.
