Default New PB 8.92 @ MIR

I went to MIR last Friday for a track rental Gary Hillen of the forum hosted and clicked off a couple new personal bests. First pass out was 9.30 @ 151 on blower only.

Next pass I sprayed a 150 shot

I'm still working on getting the 60' down and haven't got the nitrous completely lined out.

What a fun day at the track! Seeing your car made me wish I had my ZR1 there instead of the C7.

Im glad I got to see that run in person! It was INCREDIBLE!

As of now I've met all my goals with the car. I always felt like the car had a solid 9.30 in it blower only and I finally got that out of it with the 9.300. On the nitrous pass I wasn't able to shift it as fast as I do on blower only due to some sort of issue I haven't figured out with the nitrous. With that being said I think there's some E/T left on the table. I'm shooting for a 8.70 in the near future.
