There is something magical about beating trailered racecars with a daily driver that appears to be stock. Even with the big & little wheels/tires, I get plenty of people who approach me in the pits & staging lanes wanting to know how my car performs so well & so consistent.
I raced at Pacific Raceways tonight and even the announcer commented on how consistent my car runs as I pulled up to the line! I made 6 passes tonight: 11.60, 11.61, 11.62, 11.62, 11.63, and an 11.67. The 11.67 pass was after an hour shutdown from someone oiling the track, so the car was too cold and spun a bit (terrible 1.72 sixty foot instead of my normal 1.59 to 1.63).
I got beat pretty bad by a C7 Corvette Z06 tonight. It was one of my 11.62 runs (at 116 mph) and he ran a 10.61 @ 130, so he had me by a full second!
