Default Quickest 60' time recorded for a C6 ZO6?

Could this 1.292 be it?

I had a great night at the track tonight. I swore both wheels came off the ground but after looking at the video it must have just been the drivers side. Real hard to tell from the video being it was night time and the camera was having a hard time focusing. Scared the **** out of me when it happened

Here's a video of the run

Awesome! Were you were there or can you just see it in the video?

I had several by standers tell me the tires came up on the launch. I really feel both came up as i had to correct the car by jerking the wheel to the right as the car came back down. I just wish the video was clearer.

A company named Weld Craft did the work for me.

u #1 on that 60' J, as I said last night. Wait 'till that northern air gets down here My spies inform me that the pass. wheel was off the ground. After I do my burnout, I often do a "test" or "dry-hop", my best is 1.37 but both wheels up. On the dry-hop u can feel the front tires slamming the ground. Maybe not unusual for a drag car.....but a street vette driven to the track? Mustangs beware

Jerry and I hope to get back to the track when the DA is -2500 or better, I say 9.30s or better.....and this with stock bottom-end

From Ragin' to IPS and hours-long phone sessions with all of us, this car runs it's A off. Last friday at our track rental, 69vette had a new ctsv with the LSA motor....I saw an 11.60 come up on the board, not 10 min. after the car arrived off the highway. If I did not know better, I would say that car might run 10s in the coming months
