While my C5 is setup for canyon running/roadracing, and the standing mile, I thought I'd get out for a rare run at the drags...

I left the T-1 bars connected, and did not adjust the Pfadt coilovers from the normal setting. I did throw on a set of 305/35/18 MT DRs, and aired them down to about 19 psi. I drove the car to Fontana, the DA was around 2500, and made my first pass in a while. 10.89 @ 137.95 MPH. They warned my for going over 135 MPH, since I don't have a FULL cage, and a shutoff in the rear. They told me to lift on the next run, I did... right after I crossed the finish line!!!

They booted me, but that was fine, the lines were long, and I was happy with the second pass: 10.51 @ 140.46 MPH. I watched for a while, then drove her home in one piece!!

I really want to take a moment to thank a few people and shops that have had this car running very well for the past 9 months!!

JB I've seen your car and its by far one of the most awesome street C5's I've seen. You do the standing mile, 1/4 mile, and Pulls in mexico.

I don't know if you already do this but I wanted to know if you do autcross or road race your car.

Again, good run!

Nice run, especially for a non-drag race junkie. The spec of my car is very similar to yours, and watching your video is a good substitute for endangering my drive train at the track.

This is the exact reason I don't drag race, the rules are retarded. Maybe 50 years ago they made sense but these days cars come from the factory with the capability to run 10's with some sticky tires.

Congrats on the pass BTW

Nice Joel, always enjoy your vids.

For not running on the track like this you did good going down it for the 1st time... Looked like you got off a little fast on the roll. Car sounds good going down and again look good man...

Awesome driving and great video !

There are many tracks that dont care too much about the rules. Ive seen 9 second cars at over 150 with no cage or even 6 point bars in them.

Wicked C5

Nice run. I had to work next door at the track yesterday and it's family day today for me so no fun

peter pan

Nice run rowing those gears at the 1/4

a/c man

nice clean run man if you could launch harder and work on you 60ft time i see low 10s easy

Mike04

With your MPH, sticky tires and good shifts you'll hit the high 9s

Thanks Dude! My car is setup for roadracing, here's a recent outing...

Thanks, that's why I don't want to launch too hard...

I hear ya, that's one of the reasons I don't head there too often. When I do, it's almost always a private track day, since the lines can be ridiculous.

Thanks as always!!

I was quite happy with the way it went down, thanks!

Thank You!

We don't have too many like that...

Thanks, If I did not have the DRs on, I might have come over to try and get a session in on the roval!!!

Thanks Buddy, it was a "natural" kind of row that went real smooth...

Thank you, but to launch any harder for a few more tenths is not worth it to me. Even though I have all the beefed up stuff in the drivetrain, dead hooking 800+ RWHP can still cause a lot of damage...

Enjoyed the vid and congrats

Add to that a proper DA, and I may just get that 9 sec slip one day...

Thank You Chuck!!

Another great performance Joel, living the Corvette dream!!

robert miller

Nice run in the car man for sure, One bad thing and these cars is for sure the 60ft time sucks. Unless you go with a 400 trans are a P/G in her and all the other few things to do to get it down. Very nice run.....

venomws7

Great run...

Which Mcloed clutch are you running?

madmatt9471

Nice run Joel! Famoso in November

Thanks,Matt
