1st run car breaks loose around 60mph, I let off

Second run , hit second gear, car fishtails and crosses over into second lane... After that I said screw it... It was too cold,

if you had a tire and did a good burn out the temps may have been beneficial, but I think I will stick to Saturday sessions from now on , better track prep, no traffic and the sun ftw ha

I thought only 450+ whp automatics took any kind of skill to control.

Put oil on your tires and it will be tricky to control. Auto or manual.

Not hooking up is not hooking up.

Yea I ran in both lanes, it was just too slick, a lot of people weren't hooking up, I didn't see them spray any VHT either

And shin not hooking up has to do with track prep, not power.. FYI shin my car has plenty of torque to get sideways.. didn't take much to straighten it back up though

I'm confident it does. (Just gonna estimate around 380 WHP)

I'm glad you didn't crash, man.

Auto LS1 vette's dyno in the 280-300whp...generally. I am not sure I have ever seen a bolt-on (Stock cam/heads) break 350-360whp.

Finally, I'll be racing a car that can hook off the starting line. Looking forward to the 19th and hopefully I can break 14.0 in the quarter mile.
