Nothing. Car wasn't touched, so I have no idea. Bottle didn't go in the car until mid day. I'm trying to figure out why it trapped so high.

Cool, I was just curious. Is it possible the headwind picked up after? I know we did not get their until noon. Also,do you have z51 gearing? Car rolls out for sure.

The worst headwind was at around 10am. You couldn't even keep a baseball hat on standing in to it and made your eyes water. It stayed strong, but then started to die down at about 1pm. I think I left at 215-230, and was already a lot less than earlier. I made the comment about not running when we got there at 915 because it was strong enough to shake your car when sitting in the parking lot.

I'd like to do a race gas tune. I tuned it with just pump 93 and a ton of meth and a little n20. Mark runs a mix of 104 and pump for safety.

Thanks, nice to meet you all! You all are a bunch of cool guys, definetly worthy of having some of the top vettes in Texas. Beautiful cars, great driving, and what a blast. Sorry about the incredible headwind we all faced. I heard it died down after I went to work, but eitherway, everybody was rolling out hard!

Exactly the friendly competition that we need to continue with these outings. I'm just not a big fan of SAR, even though I cut 1.6 60ft's in my 435whp z06 and have a family house on the River. The track in Houston is a better track if you can take out a 25mph headwind. Look forward to seeing you guys soon and I love having a street car only track rental.

We are going to go back up there. We are doing a bigger car and once his is done thats about the only place we will be able to run it. It was awesome to watch your record pass in person! I was like DAMMMMMMNNN did he just click off a 60!!!!! HeLL yea that is the way to race. Everyone talking and sharing info and having a good time. Next one I'm sure we will be able to bring at least 4 to 5 cars. I dont like SAR because every time we go we get bitched at about this and that. I was allready getting warnings for 149 passes. But if you are down here and you do have the car with you we can do it on a Wed or Fri. Come by the shop and vist us if you ever get a chance. 2200 is going to be dirty!!! We can get Andrew to buy us all pizza again

How are you keeping the rear end together. I have an 08 (stock) and didn't realize the rear ends were weak until a 05 was at the track in front of me at the race track this past weekend (I was in my turbo lsx fox body) and he scattered his rear end all over the track (I believe he was cam only). Then I asked a buddy and he said they are weak as hell.

Slipping the clutch is how to keep them from breaking. The 05 rear ends are weaker than the 06+cars. They strengthened them after 05. I'm still on the stock stuff in mine.

which i think is amazing after seeing your Z06 break with MUCH less power.

That makes me feel better. This 05 I saw blew it's rear in spectacular fashion, I'm talking picking up parts with a shovel/gallon of fluid on the ground.
