First time out with the car, beside the 90 degree weather at atco raceway everything was great, got the 60ft down to a 1.63, and a mph of 129, i really want to go back when its cooler and hopefully get some low 10 second passes, dont know how much longer i could go tho with leaving it stock though

Pretty decent et considering 90 degree heat. Any idea what your DA was?

Sounds like some solid runs.

DA shows at 2248

Nice runs - those are hardly easy et conditions.

Thanks! I set up this track rental over a month ago, just my luck it lands on the hottest day so far lol, at least 1 record was broken..the heat

Fartpipe

VERY VERY nice 60ft and great ET/MPH for the air temp. Keep up the great work! Maybe I'll see you down there sometime soon.

Good numbers considering the condition!!! Watch out for Fart Pipe, he'll be laying down a challange the next thing you know.

Great 60'. Heat must have really pulled some timing on you that should have been a mid 10 sec pass all day. What was your launch technique?

Fartpipe

EVERY 10 degrees warmer out that car is going to slow down .10. So say 1.63 60ft on a nice cold day say 50degrees would be a 10.50. Then add 40degrees he is SPOT ON!!! Great driving, great 60ft great results. MAKE the ZR1 guys proud!!!!

Thanks guys!

I forgot to ask what rear rims/tires were you running? Obviously with a 1.63 that was drag radials.

What is the best Launch technigue for 2009 stock tires and do the tires on the 2012 ZR1 make that big a difference??

Nice pass!

Were they enforcing the "roll bar" requirement? When we were there on Friday, they asked us "to run slower" They actually said, roll bars were required for cars faster than an 11.5

We went 10.8 @ 128 mph. Here's our thread from the other day:

Congrats Joe. Dennis told me he saw a couple of your passes and that the car looked real good.
