Ah, so that was YOU in front of me off to the side (I was in the silver C6 behind you that wouldn't start up)

We weren't making a good showing for C6s working properly

Sorry to hear about your misfortune.

 

That sucks! Hopefully your brake line doesn't have the same design especially at the fast end of the track.

It's cool to see two great business competitors coming together for a common interest even when money is not involved.

 

It acctualy sounds pretty awesome sounds to me like it turned out to be a pretty fun and interesting night besides a broken car n no racing.

 

NO kidding! I saw your C6, wondered what happened there. Did you get it sorted out?

 

So when are you going back? I wanna see what that thing runs.

 

I really need to get on with a track rental, so I won't get kicked out. I'd estimate it would have gone 10.3 last night. High 130s traps.

 

Before you spend the money doing that, OTTA is going to have a street car class at their next event. The cage issue is not going to be enforced for the street cars.

BTW, It sucks that you had this issue last night. I made a pass and seen you in line. I told my brother to get you on video but he said you broke something.

 

What/When/Where is this OTTA event?

 

Seemed like a Bad night for everyone but Chad.I blew out what at the time sounded like a header gasket.Turned out to be blown head gasket

On a positive note it happened at 1000 foot mark and she still coasted the extra 320 feet to a 12.30 @100mph.Not bad for 6psi

 

Here is the thread Bonnie put on my site.

She posted it on here hoping to get more street car involved but someone keeps deleting her threads. OTTA is the only organization I know of that is truly trying to give the true street cars a place to race without being harassed.

That sucks about the head gasket. I was thinking that because the header gaskets looked good but it was not pouring water out...

 

Having issues with the car holding a charge. I had to have it jumped twice last night.

I'm going to be checking it out today.

 

Nineball,
What front brakes are on your corvette to clear the 17" ccw's?
i thought you had to run 18" or bigger to clear the z06 bbk?

thanks

 

This OTTA sounds great...

FloydSummer... Didn't realize that was you back there. I guess you got it home ok then.

DudeWin... The 17" CCW's clear the ZO6 brakes just fine. They did something to the design of the wheel a while back to make room for the big brake kits and Z brakes.

 

Factory brakes on my Z06. The CCW's fit really tight, but they fit.

 

Good thing it was an easy fix and you got help from the local gearheads...glad you didnt have to use a tow truck...nineball your car looks really good with your drag setup as well as your street setup

 

Yeah I got it home alright....just had to idle it up a bit at stops once I finally got it jumped and running.

 

I guess 133-135 on your trap speed .

Sucks about the headache. Glad you got it worked out

 

LSX community is great! Real nice of that guy to go out his way and put his car down so you could make it home without the tow!

 

Good story Tony. Yeah it is amazing some of the things you find out about GM's manufacturing materials when you start taking the cars apart lol! Glad it worked out for you. I have found a lot of good car guys will bend over backwards for a fellow gear head at times. I've been on the recieving end a number of times and always appreciate the help, and try to do the same when I find people broke down/ having issues etc.. So I'll give a big thanks to all the guys that helped you as you can never tell them enough!
