Will scan the time slips later but here are the the results:


1st 10 second pass 10.98 @ 131.05 on a 1.69 60'. Backed it up on next pass with a 10.97 @ 129.74 on a 1.73 60'.



Mods include QM600, Killer Bee & Hive, Vette Air, AR Longtubes, and a Quality Motorsports tune Passes were made on BFG T/A DR's, 315-30-R18's.

Better times will come with more practice, but today was my first time to get into the 10's, and it feels good

TNTZ06, it was great gettin' together with you again and running our Z''s
Congratulations James! Impressive car and driver...

Great job James!

I am sorry I missed the private track rental; had to spend the weekend in Chicago to visit my ill father.

And yes you are right, the Beehive HELPS reduce AIT especially here in Texas!!!!

Thanks,
Carlos

what rpm launch were you doing? I'm taking my car to the track this weekend and have the Hoosier R6's and was wondering around how hard to launch it.

Thanks, Casey

I was launching at 4000 rpm, I wasn't quite at 4K in the video and bogged a little off the line. I can and will do better with more practice

Man I want to get the invite. I gte kicked off that track everytime I run. One pass warning and next pass off. 11.2@127 is my best due to no practice. I really want to get into the 10s as well.
