Default Moroso "Private" test day 11/23

$75 all you can run 9 am til 11 pm. Basically open track all day. With luck pro camera crew will be there again this year selling excellent framed launch pics.

We'll have a good contingent of the regular Corvette Challenge guys on hand, come out and join the fun.

Do you accept "rejects" from an Atco rental?

You bet! No jacket required, temp will be in the 80's. Great for the beach, not so great for the track, but hey, beats shopping!

As the winner of the GM Challenge last weekend at Countyline, I will be more than happy to teach you the finer points of drag racing.



Hope to see you there buddy!

Hope to make this one and debut my new 69 that replaced my totalled one back in april. This one is a bone stocker for now so it won't set any records, but should be fun. Hope to see you guys. Joe, how does this work with the citrus nationals? Do we just run 9-11 and that is it.

Mike

P.S. Neil, I hope you are doing o.k. buddy.

I'll be there.

Wow, Mike, your yellow vette was nice. Is this one just as fast?

Niel, sorry you can't make this one, I look forward to seeing you next week. Robert said he might bring his Super Bee to go against you Mopar guys.

Joe, don't forget the tripod.

Hey Mike! Glad you can make it. I think it'll be pretty much open track all day if it's like it was in prior years.

I'm guessing we'll park where we did last year too. I'm looking forward to it! Have a Happy Thanksgiving boys. Don't eat too much and lose a tenth!

This one isn't near as fast but should be an indication of what a real tri-power vette would do back in the day. Will be modifying it in the future for the real fun.

One of the best parts of the November Citrus Nationals test day is the professional photographer that takes launch shots of you and sells them framed for $35. This scan does not do the picture justice - you can "see the whites of my eyes" staring down the tree in the real pic!

You got that right brother.

Here's the vid of our run. I nipped the tree as I knew a quick r/t would be necessary to have a chance against your 500 rwhp machine....I had no idea you'd get a .009!! I thought sure I had you at the 1/8... but then the TGV came bearing down.
