That being said, here were my best ET, Trap, and R/T. I would post the rest of my heads up runs against Umar (I have 6 or 7 as proof ) but he pwned me at Zdayz so now we're even.

What impressed me was I got my highest trap on my last pass of the night (look at time 9:59 it was the last run of the night for anyone). This was after 25+ passes in a 2 hour span.

If I was able to adapt to the not-so-great track conditions (a bit slippery) I think I could have gotten better times.

Best E/T

Best Trap

Best R/T


For reference purposes this was my previous PB at Capitol last year. I was full weight and bone stock with same tires and wheels. 1st time ever at a track yet I was still able to cut a better 60' then all my passes at mason dixon. I think my best 60' was a 2.21.

Although it was a fun day, compare yourself to other racers. Whether its fun or not, when 2 cars line up, its a race.

For example #28 vs #30. #28 wins by 9/100 seconds. Its a slim WIN, but its still a WIN.

I cant see the bottom of time slip #24 vs #30, but I assume it is a WIN for #30.

Yeah I had him off the line but he realed me back in (he definitely wasn't stock). The #24 was Umar and yes it was for a win .

the whole function tuned crew is going to be at a new level.
I have your upgrades all planned out for you though. You need AFR heads, upgraded camshaft / springs, 3.73 or 4.11 gears for the rear, upgraded valve body, 2800-3200 stall speed converter, borla exhaust, and tune. Then you should be up there with us.

nah, don't do NOS. Heads, cam, and tune will put you into the mid 400's on Dave's dyno. The sick thing is that your power band is going to start at 2000 rpm. I'll have to double check exact numbers. but if you do the list i mentioned earlier, I would guess that you would be right with us. You could have an 11 sec. vette for the next track day.
