To start out I am no professional track guru! But I got a couple decent runs in last night so I thought I'd share one..

Mods are CAI and 275-40-17 Drag Radials.

Below is my best run of the night..

Nice! Launch and shifting right at 7K is the key to fast times in these cars. Heat them drag radials up and work on that launch and a 10 sec 1/4 is in your future.

Dude, I REALLY like the appearance of those black painted A pillars. Pretty Vette.

I need to figure out how to do a dam burn out in this car.. The tires were gripping too well right out of the burnout box.. but not as well at the starting line :dw:

Nice run!! I see you're on corvetteforum too. Cheers!

Nice pass man

Thanks guys!

Nice pass. Did u have to shift to fourth?

TY.. Yea you have to shift into 4th a good bit before the end..

I couldn't tell but was that a 2nd or 1st gear burnout? If it was a 1st gear burnout that is probably why it wanted to grip, you need to get a better burnout then that for sure.

Try turning them over once in the water box to get the whole tire wet, then pull forward and do your burnout. Nice car BTW!

Was 1st gear.. Whats benefit of doing it in 2nd?

You will get it squared away. Nice run.

I was out there and saw the car; congrats on the pass. I couldn't get my ET streets to get me a great 60' either.
