Post Track Times!!! well, kinda.

Ok, I FINALLY had some spare time to get my car down to the track again, and here is what happened.

First off, about 5 miles from the track, I blew out my header gasket on the passenger side, while trying to pass a semi on the highway...oops!!

Now for the run. I ran on street tires, and had a great atmosphere. 75*, low humidity, and good traction. I launched good, and banged through the grats really good. Right as I powershifted into 4th, I heard a POP thud thud thud. I also lost immediate power. My first reaction was "blower broke" I was freakin, I immediately let off and coasted theough the traps at a (this is the funny part) 12.647@103.871 So I had a good run forming. A Damn good run. I was up around 105 when It broke prolly 300 feet after the 1/8 lights. I pulled into the pits and popped the hood, and had a GREAT relief when I saw that it was just my belt that snapped off.

Now for the wierd stuff. There was also a new GTS, ZO6 and a 99 Cobra with a 11# S-Trim running.

The Viper ran 13.2's all night, at get this....108, 110, and 111. Very dismal.

The ZO6 ran a pathetic 13.76@ 100

And the Cobra ran a 12.68@ 111 on slicks. pretty pathetic. There was also a 99 T/A that ran a 13.6@98.

I guess I will have to venture there again Friday.

Later
