Also went last friday, nov 4. Air was about -300 DA when I got there around 930pm and around 11 or so, it was down in the -640 ft DA range! Great air quality. I had 51 deg F, with a 43 deg F dew point, 30.13" Hg. Think that track is 22 ft elevation?
Regardless my car previous best was 12.60 at 107.x I think it was. DA was 1500 ish then. Friday it went 12.31 at 109.8. Picked up a BUNCH in that air.

Just got home from RPR tonight. I only got in two passes, the first one was just blazing the tires off. The second pass I lowered the tire pressure more and did a longer burnout.
60' 1.78
1/8 = 7.00 @ 105.64
1/4 = 10.67 @ 134.04
Car was pinging at the top of each gear, needs a re-tune for this cold air we are seeing. I had to shift early twice to stop the pinging in 2nd and 3rd. Still ran pretty good though. The car has a 10.4 @ 136 in it, no doubt.

2009 Z06, only mods are the Magna Charger and longtube headers w/ cats. The rest of the car is stock, power-enhancement wise.

Disappointed in tonight. Last week in similar air I went 12.31 at 109.8 on 1.71 60 ft. 2.73 gears.
Swapped in 3.73's this week, no other changes and the air quality was about the same, and it only went 1.67 60 ft, 12.26 at 110.4 mph. Almost no gain for all that money and time spent.... Oh well. Only had 2 runs since track took 2 hours to clean up one accident. First pass i spun bad due to fwd car tracking water into the lane and not cleaning in up.

Made one pass went 10.54 @ 129. Left due to the wreck and the dew forming on the track and cars. It should be nice weather for the NMRA and NMCA race today.

Excellent launch Tony and on radials I assume. Most Z06s don't launch that well even on sticky tires.
I sure could use about 15 of your hp. That's all I need to get me to #1 bolt on the CF.

The track crew usually will mop up as a car goes thru the lane doing its burnout, but they didnt for my run. I tried to line up offset to the left of where that car went thru but I think my burnout was alittle short and the nittos didnt grab like they should have. My next run I heated them good and it hooked fine.
