Fun Night at The Friday Night Street Races..
Evadale Dragway this year has gone back to their roots and started back up Friday Night Street Racing. They set the tree up for instant green lights and is a blast to run.It was hot with the DA around+2900 with the air temp right at 95*. There is no fast car lanes and you can run anyone you want plus the wait in the staging lanes is almost nothing.
Took my C6 which recently had a Vigilante 2800 stall installed and forum member Florits C5 which we've been chasing down a nitrous problem and I think we finally tracked the problem to a bad nitrous solenoid. The solenoid once it got hot wouldn't open and was driving us crazy. But here is a video with us running together and a couple of shots of mine on the track...

Hey Craig Keith needed that last night. After kicking his GS around lately I was due. The C5 is a freak it ran its best 60' last night 1.56 has logged over 125 nitrous passes and was nearly a tenth last night in the heat from running its best ET and has over 115,000 miles on the shortblock !! Testament to LS technology..
