Default *** ATCO VIDEOS... Gary's 10.32 @132 and my 11.49 @127 ***

My hats off to you Gary !!!

Gary ran the best C6Z06 bolt on time that I know of. 10.34 @ 132.04 1.44-60’

So here are the videos I took. Enjoy.

The track prep was so sticky that someones sneaker came off as they were walking across it LOL..




















GARY'S PASSES

First time at the track ever and you ran 11.40's...my friend, you will hit the 10's soon!!!

Atco is a fast track and when prepped right, I don't think there is another track better out there.

Congrats dude.

Please tell Rob and Gary that I said hello.

Thanks,
Carlos

Thanks you Carlos !!!!

I couldn't believe it when I came around to get my slip and saw 11.49 @127. My only issue after swapping out the clutch fluid was wheel hop. I could have been more aggressive but I held back until I get that worked out.

Cool.

You did the right thing, no sense in busting up the rear end. I have no doubt you'll clip the 11.20 zone on those same runcraps.

Just think, with a little more practice and stickies, you'll be in the 10's stock! Then with some bolt-ons (tune, CAI kit and better clutch), consistent 10.7's even in the heat....trust me, I know

Keep up the good work, have fun and be safe

Thanks,
Carlos

Great runs guys

To Gary, Did you put regular C6 brakes on the front so those GTO spare wheels would fit?

Nice driving and videos Joe. 11.49 your first time out is great and 127 mph is big. You guys must have had some great air up there.

Thanks my friend !!! We all had a great time...

I used a SONY HDR SR-12 HD CamCorder. I shot in max resolution of 1080i. It records in AVCHD format (.mts) which is timely to edit. These are straight from my cam to youtube.

I am putting together a total video of the day using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. Should be ready in a week and on youtube.
