Day at the track

[marcspaz]

Hey guys. I wanted to share some fun stories and video from the track today. As many of you know, I just had some clutch and rear-end work done. Getting all this stuff fixed / dialed in paid off.

I was just .064 seconds off my best ET, but I did get a new best 60' of 1.79. I also spanked 3 different Vettes. They are friends, but it was still fun! LOL

My best run was with me resting at WOT on the rev limiter and dumping the cluth. I think it is time for a 2-step. If I get rid of that last little wheel spin out of the hole, I can cut some 1.6 60' and maybe pickup a low 12.7.

Here is a few videos of my 3975 lbs ride (w/driver) making some 12.9xx runs.

John (Kooldawg6) got owned there for a bit, didn't he!

Marc, you did fine and we were all shaking off the winter cobwebs. I wish we could have run side by side but we seemed to be in a groove with one car running and the other cooling off. Next time...

With a 1/4 tank of fuel the car is 3600 lbs... I am a fat-ass.

I hope you mean the car? You wouldn't pick on a person person for being fat because they have a life impairing respiratory disability and can't exercize, would you?

He was going to keep unbolting stuff til he got in the 12's. Next was the hood! That was great... He made it too. LOL

LOL... me too. But you got me beat. In fact, I think I could have Donna ride along with me, and we'd just about even things out.


BTW... my car is 3,735 w/o driver.
