I got to the track around 5:45, got through tech and then right into the lanes. Before I could do anything, I was called to make a run. This would turn out to be the best run of the day. I left soft in 2nd gear and ran a 11.8 @ 123 with a 2.0 60'. In doing that, I managed to beat a nice C6Z who ran a similar mph. The guy was cool and chatted in the lanes after the run. The 2nd run was versus a GTR. I tried to leave harder in 2nd and the car literally had 0 traction. I ice skated to a 2.56 60' and aborted the run. You can assume the GTR did a bit better.... The 3rd run was versus a Boss 302 and due to my prior launch failure, I decided to leave soft....but it was too soft going to a 2.1 60' and a 12.0 @ 123. I did beat the Boss at least (video below).
So I think it's safe to say I will be figuring out a drag tire setup and a getting an aluminum driveshaft as well. For those unaware, they put 275s on these cars which is fun for easy burnouts but not so good for 60's.
I stopped on the scale as well and the car weighs 4670 lbs with me in it.
Ouch that blows. Glad to hear you didn't lose the y-pipe completely.
Was it not shifting at high rpms or a different issue? |
High rpm wouldn't go in 2-3-4 and would grind but on street its fine
Just did a replacement dorman master like 200 miles ago
